The Brits, themselves, are entirely capable of leaking it and then pointing fingers at the U.S..

Can't believe he did not corrupt US Intelligence Community with bribes by money for the leaked photos
On the other hand it could have been handed to him or her as a honeypot, for free by email or something, see if he or she takes the bait, even more stupid, a professional journalist would have sensed photos are hot, and felt from a truck
OK he or she could be framed by the secret service, for some wrong doing in their eyes (microsoft cia nsa ... secret services)

Interesting that nobody is suggesting that the 'leak', itself, is a false flag. Anyone doubt there are those in MI-5 and MI-6 that have a dislike of Trump and his agenda?

Easily done and distances themselves from, potentially, a much more inquisitive U.S. Intel system.
Just saying...

It's not the reporter that did anything wrong but whoever told the reporter.

he or she (the reporter) should have sensed that it was not the right thing to do, so he or she is guilty too

New York Times and Washington Post are competing to see which paper can get the biggest "scoops". Scoops generate additional revenue from advertisers. MONEY trumps National Security with both publications.
Because the publications must approve every story, they are ultimately responsible. A HUGE $$$ FINE levied against both of them by the suitable Government agency will deter future breeches. Hitting them hard in the balance-sheet WILL WORK...guaranteed.
The leakers in the government are the source, but without a willing, law-breaking carrier pigeon, they'd have to post their classified info on social media...which aint gonna happen.
If I were President Trump, I'd offer a deal to the NYT and WaPo. "Give me the names of the government leakers, or say goodbye to 30% of your revenue this year. Take your pick."

WaPo is Jeff Bezos' blog. That POS isn't profitable. What Trump should do is go after his deal with the CIA. It's worth double what the scumbag paid for that failing rag.

I'm hoping heads start to roll on these leaks. It sounds like Trump is gearing up for just that on his return. I want prosecutions, not firings.
Who do you want Trump to prosecute or fire in the United Kingdom's security/police services for this leak?

That was exactly my point. When we have something definitive then we can announce who was in the wrong, it's still all speculation.

Realistically, the UK has nothing to really gain from doing so. Both sides in the US have a lot to gain

Both sides in the US have a lot to gain - the Dems could use it to damage the relationship between the US/UK (as Obama had been doing for years) and undermine confidence in the Trump administration, while Trump could use it to justify a bit of purging as it's more palatable to say "we have to do it because it has damaged our allies" than to say "I have to do it because all these leaks are pissing me off."
I would be very surprised if the leak wasn't from the US side of the equation.

Pictures of bomb remnants is a silly thing to leak. Personally, I don't think this was a "leak". I think it was miscommunication and whoever passed the info along didn't communicate the classified nature of the info. Human error. IMHO

I pretty much agree with what you say, I just want to wait until all the facts are out.
