Privacy expert Christopher Parsons is pictured outside his Toronto office on Wednesday, Feb. 5, 2014.

News organizations publishing leaked National Security Agency documents have inadvertently disclosed the names of at least six intelligence workers and other government secrets they never intended to give away, an Associated Press review has found.
