You are comparing talking over the cooler vs writing up a word document and saving it on the company server. These cables were docs that were stored on the server that afforded anyone with a high enough clearance to gain access to....not quite the same as bugging a convo where you have a reasonable expectation of privacy. It's kinda like the information that is posted on a company's internet site vs what is posted on an intranet site. It's public to those who have access to it, but not necessarily public to the general public. Most companies post "classified" (in the corporate sense) documents that are meant only for the eyes of employees.

Right? I mean, it would be like if your boss asked you to demo some company's software and then report back to him what you thought about it. And in your meeting with him, you were brutally honest about how shitty you thought it was.....and someone bugged your conversation and sent it to the vendor company.
