It is a fine line between '''leakers''' - people in government who divulge to the media and public government [[Executive Branch]] secrets, and [[whistleblower]]s, people in government who expose government corruption.
Leakers are ususlly cited in media reports as anonymous sources, or "people with knowledge" and other such language. Leaking, as opposed to whistleblowing, is generally done to criticize policy decisions and influence Congressional action or public opinion, rather than expose corruption.
