The site Task & Purpose noted that the New York Times profile about the whistleblower laid out enough identifying details that a smart activist could figure out the CIA officers information and put the persons life in danger.
Publishing details about the whistleblower will only lead to the identification of someone, whether our client or the wrong person, as the whistleblower. This will place this individual in a much more dangerous situation, not only in their professional world but also their possible personal safety, T&P quoted one of the whistleblowers attorneys Mark S. Zaid.

(58,785 posts)babbled so many details, while I was listening, about our very high-up spy in Russia who'd been living in Washington that I was sure I could have located where he and his family were living. Not that he hadn't already been outed to Russia at that point, but it was outrageous. And it was rightly criticized.
