Shhhh !

Some stuff like state secrets have to remain secret. Some information is absolutely critical to keep out of the hands of nations of organization that may poise a threat.

In the U.S. part of a website called "The Intercept" is all about leaking vital state secrets and any other critical information they can get their hands on to the point of detriment to national security.

In Poland there is no such "Snowdenite" platform for dissemination of top secret documents and communiques. 

The worst leak in Polish government over the past few years occurred back in June when Wprost published the transcripts of private conversations ministers were having concerning important issues.

In one chat, between Polish Foreign Minister Radek Sikorski and Finance Minister Jacek Rostowski, they refer to British PM David Cameron’s promise to re-negotiate the terms of the UK’s membership in the EU saying:

"... the only way Poland would agree to let the UK change its EU terms - an EU consensus decision - is if Britain or Germany gave it “a mountain of gold”.


“The Brits won’t give it to us, and the Germans, in order to keep the Brits on board, won’t give it to us either in all likelihood. So the [Polish] answer [to the UK] will be: fuck off’,” Rostowski says.

I might be a disgrace to have that private conversation known - but it's not a threat to Poland's security or financial well-being. The American website however could sink ships.
