IMHO the leak itself is very much a security issue and isn't trivial...I would have thought if the contents of NSC meetings are going to be leaked within minutes by Ministers of State then I wonder if some of our allies might become less keen on sharing info with us, and maybe our own domestic agencies might be less likely to present information to Ministers...
