| Got out |
| Let out a secret |
| Came out somehow |
| Didn't hold water |
| Wasn't watertight |
| Allowed to get out |
| Escaped, as liquid |
| Spilled D.C. beans |
| Made known, sub rosa |
| Reported prematurely |
| Dripped from the pipe |
| Couldn't keep a secret |
| Gave news on the q. t. |
| Got out, as information |
| Passed illegally, maybe |
| Told an official secret |
| Spilled, as D.C. secrets |
| Disclosed, as secret data |
| Wasn't seaworthy, in a way |
| Got out early, as a release |
| No longer a secret, perhaps |
| Released without authorization |
| Gave out information surreptitiously |
