The letter is the latest (of many) canary trap. Intended to expose a leak channel and set participants up fir prosecution.

The letter is a deep state member lashing out in response to Durham shifting his focus to the Pentagon last week. Remember, six high ranking Pentagon officials have resigned in the past seven days, including the chief of staff yesterday.
Former Obama-era Intel employees now hold managerial posts at the WaPo. I believe that they continue to hold their security clearances and are the leakers for this classified information.
Trump needs to order the revocation of these clearances.
Within most management groups there are things like contingency planning so it is possible to react quickly when necessary. They are supposed to remain internal because they do not state the position of the Company or Department.
If someone want's to stir up trouble, they simply release the contingency document which will be most problematic.
But there is probably a very small group of people who have access to these documents and people do not like trouble makers stabbing them in the back.
Why should I care at all about a shithole that is such a shithole it will collapse in on itself the instant american lives and treasure stop being sacraficed to the bottomless hole that is iraq? I do not give one iota of a damn if the second we leave they blow each other to hell. That is their country their land and their sand to fight over forever. I want the fuck out. The only way we would ever win is if we colonized the place and changed the entire culture to be America of the middle east which means no muzzies
I’m gonna make two guesses on this.

I was just thinking canary trap.
Gotta be. It wouldn’t be the first time, and it’s hilarious how stupid the leakers are.
I'm going to say based on the recent resignations, it was likely the former.

Trump should have executed Order 66
Clearance doesn't include "Need to know". I have clearance, but my current position has very little need to know.
I got the impression this was a US staffer in Iraq, giving an early (unsigned) draft to an Iraqi for thoughts, and the Iraqi leaked it.
HoneyPot - to find the leaker.
Fake News is the enemy of the people
How?

Deep state in the military.
The swamp is deep, fetid, and treacherous.
We aren't going to kill people over policy disagreements. At least the Lion Party and the Republicans will not.
Because it would be hard to spin the ensuing bloodbath in Iraq into a positive.
I want us to leave too, but whether tomorrow or 10 years from now it'll collapse as soon as we do.

We're BFF with Vietnam now. Stranger things have happened.
Headfake to let everyone know what would happen if they did try to expell us.
Simple enough to follow the digital evidence and identity, then transfer this deep State partner to a very undesirable post.
Leaker bait.
My bet is it has something do with the recent round of resignations....
