I have a moral authority to,
to release classified information because I think it's in the public interest.

I think it can be addressed, but again, slowly.
So among the things you would need to do would be to put in some strong leaders who are bound and determined to reverse this to the extent they can.
So there is leadership from the top.
So you change policies.

counseled by managers, and most of us who have ever been workers know that you get counseled by bosses, and one of your jobs is sometimes to counsel other people constructively.
