Another Leak?

Here is a sentence from a Reuters article today:

Citing an unnamed senior Israeli official, the Haaretz daily said a new National Intelligence Estimate (NIE) compiled by the Obama administration included a "last-minute update" about significant Iranian progress in the development of a nuclear warhead "far beyond the scope known" to U.N. inspectors.

A National Intelligence Estimate is top secret. Sometimes they are eventually released; sometimes they are not. Since this NIE is supposedly new and since it has a major change from the prior NIE, one would think that it would be kept secret. Sadly, the Obama White House cannot protect national secrets. This is the fifth major security breach in the last few months.
