I can appreciate Mr. Bray's comments in the context of a legal,  
authorized "ongoing intelligence operation".  But it is far from  
clear that that is what we have here.  Would it make any difference  
if the "ongoing intelligence operation" was illegal in the first  
place?  That is, if a crime is being committed in secret,  are people  
not allowed to make it public?  Or is DOJ approval proof enough that  
no crime is being committed?
