Great example of how this rash of leaks coming out of our intelligence agencies will only serve, in the long run, to destroy our own credibility.

Our allies will inevitably stop sharing information with us if we don't put a stop to this.

Britain expressed irritation on Wednesday at leaks in the United States of details about a suicide bomber who killed 22 people at a packed pop concert, saying disclosures of that kind could hinder such investigations.
The suicide bombing at a packed concert in Manchester was the deadliest attack in Britain since July 2005, when four British Muslim suicide bombers killed 52 people in coordinated attacks on London's transport network.
U.S broadcasters, drawing on U.S. sources, named the suspected killer as Salman Abedi hours before Manchester police revealed his identity. Non-U.S. media followed, again citing U.S. sources.
"The British police have been very clear that they want to control the flow of information in order to protect operational integrity, the element of surprise, so it is irritating if it gets released from other sources," British interior minister Amber Rudd said when asked about the U.S. leaks by the BBC.
"I have been very clear with our friends that should not happen again," Rudd said.
