Media sometimes try, fail to keep NSA's secrets

Associated Press Published: February 8, 2014
LONDON (AP) — News organizations that have published leaked National Security Agency documents have inadvertently disclosed the names of at least six intelligence workers and other government secrets they never intended to give away.
That's according to an Associated Press review.
The accidental disclosures illustrate the risks of even well-intentioned, public-interest reporting on highly secret U.S. programs.
In some cases, prominent newspapers quickly pulled down government records they published online and recensored them to hide information they accidentally exposed.
