NYT Exposes Ongoing Spy Program

What would happen if you or I told a bunch of criminals, being investigated by the FBI, that they're being watched? Not only that, but how the FBI was tracking them?

We'd have ruined an ongoing investigation and likely put more innocent lives at risk by helping the criminals extend their freedom.

But, the NYT is a protected medium. They can do whatever they want. All because they felt the US had gotten all it was going to get out of the ongoing operation.

Stick it to 'em I say. To hell with politics. This is just plain stupid on the NYT's part.
