Time Exposes US Agent Inside Al Qaeda?

When will the news media stop their holy quest for the almighty dollar and just let our intelligence secrets stay secret? Want to give a life threatening tip to the terrorists? Well you start by leaking the fact we have agents inside their organization:
<<< Conventional wisdom has long held that the U.S. has no human intelligence assets inside al Qaeda. “That is not true,” writes Suskind. Over the previous six months, U.S. agents had been receiving accurate tips from a man the writer identifies simply as “Ali,” a management-level al-Qaeda operative who believed his leaders had erred in attacking the U.S. directly. >>>
If Ali is not safe, he is now probably dead.
<<< And when asked about the Mubtakkar and the names of the men arrested in Saudi Arabia, Ali was aware of the plot. He identified the key man as Bin Laden’s top operative on the Arabian Peninsula, Yusuf al Ayeri, a.k.a. “Swift Sword,” who had been released days earlier by Saudi authorities, unaware that al-Ayeri was bin Laden’s point man in the kingdom.
Ali revealed that Ayeri had visited Ayman Zawahiri in January 2003, to inform him of a plot to attack the New York City subway system using cyanide gas. >>>
Make that most definitely dead. And now a source is lost which could warn us about attacks like the one Time and Suskind have just divulged for sake of crude sensationalism. And not only that, they communicated key aspects of a very deadly terrorist weapon - enough for a lot of college grads to build a copy:
<<< Fearing that al-Qaeda’s engineers had achieved the holy grail of terror R&D — a device to effectively distribute hydrogen-cyanide gas, which is deadly when inhaled — the CIA immediately set about building a prototype based on the captured design, which comprised two separate chambers for sodium cyanide and a stable source of hydrogen, such as hydrochloric acid. A seal between the two could be broken by a remote trigger, producing the gas for dispersal. The prototype confirmed their worst fears: “In the world of terrorist weaponry,” writes Suskind, “this was the equivalent of splitting the atom. Obtain a few widely available chemicals, and you could construct it with a trip to Home Depot – and then kill everyone in the store.” >>>
Is there nothing these people will not to do for fame an money? And what is the motive behind this leak? In a bizarre moment of irony the CIA leak ponders the meaning of Saudi actions and a conspiracy theory:
<<< Suskind quotes a CIA operative as questioning whether it was an accident that the Saudis had killed the kingpin who could expose a cell planning a chemical weapons attack inside the U.S. >>>
Did Suskind ever question why this sensitive and dangerous information was being leaked to him? I am not so confused about a terrorist dying in a gun battle as I am about US citizens who lose their minds once they become ‘reporters’ and see nothing but the next big career making scoop. Why are we risking our lives for this idiots next Pulitzer? Why should people die because a key inside asset has possibly been exposed by these people? Who has to die before this insanity ends?
