The CIA is an idealogical institution, therefore it is by nature incompetent. I can see these leaks as going both ways: either competent intelligence gatherers who are disturbed by the ideological sanitation, or incompetent intelligence gatherers who are avoiding the shuffle to the plank. Or maybe a mixture of both, hell, it's almost Thanksgiving!
I don't think government leaks are on the total bad; in some instances they can be a testament to courage. But in other cases (Novak), they can be spinless douche-baggery.
