Say what? When you say things to other people, sometimes they will keep your secrets and sometimes they won't. Maybe Kerry is an idiot and is telling secrets for the wrong reasons. But maybe he isn't and believes he is serving the country's best interests, and maybe he is. Maybe leaking that Netanyahu asked us to nuke Iran makes it less likely that Israel will ask us to nuke Iran, and less likely that we will nuke Iran. Keeping allies' secrets is a virtue, but it is not an end all in itself.
Nothing in what I say above is specific to Kerry.
