If the information disclosed is detrimental to US security interests, such as the disclosure that the government of Yemen provided cover for a US military operation, then those responsible for disclosing that information should at the least be in jail for a very long time.

Access to classified info is the same now as it was under Bush. There are major flaws in the system, but you can't blame the Obama administration for this. Unless it was the leaker that wanted to see Obama fail and would do something like this in order for us to have problems with world relations (since they have been getting better in the past 2 years)
It isn't just creating keys, it is only having classified documents accessible and readable from secure systems that is the biggest flaw. Having USB ports is flaw #2.
