Don't Republicans understand how important it is to protect national security secrets?

The Los Angeles Times reports.  You decide: Probe Sought in Leak About CIA-Run Secret Prisons by Mary Curtius 11/08/05.

Another Republican, Sen. Trent Lott of Mississippi, said it may have been Republican senators who leaked the information to the Post. Lott told reporters that the existence of the secret prison system was discussed last week during the Republican policy luncheon, held on Capitol Hill the day before the Post story appeared.

"Information that was said in there, given out in there, did get into the newspaper," Lott said.

Asked whether he believed it was Republicans who had breached security, Lott said: "I don't know where else it came from...it looked to me that at least one of those reports came right out of that room."

I read another blog that suggested the probe ought to be - Why there are Secret Prisions in the first place?  I think that should be pointed out when ever and where ever possible.
