Today I read a report on ZDNet that a government contractor has leaked design details of the president's Marine One helicopter over a peer to peer network. Apparently, someone installed a Gnutella client on one of the company computers which allowed avionics designs to end up on a computer in Iran.
The real question here is, who's the bigger douchebag? The user who installed the Gnutella client, or the IT Security Administrator who didn't restrict user access enough. The user should have known better considering they surely have some level of government security clearance. The Security Admin should have known even more so that users can't be trusted to just follow published policies.
