Just because you know something does not mean you should make it public, does it?

International banking transaction surveillance program reported on by NY Times

Early reports are that this program has no controversy surrounding it as the NSA monitoring program did. This was a program to monitor internaitonal financial transactions to identify and track terrorist operations. Follow the money.

The NY Times apparently had 20 different sources for their story. There are calls for charges under various intelligence and espionage laws.

Just because you know something as a reporter, should you report it? Or is it a case of shooting the messenger? I am disgusted hat 20 people would divulge such a classified program to anyone in the press, and am also disgusted that the NY Times couldn't bring iself to hold the story.

If a reported knew of D-Day before it happened, should they have reported on it?
