Nothing you said is wrong. The problem is in addition to knowing it as to what you said. Methods and specifics were released. Brit Hume, earlier here, made this same point. Knowing we are looking for ties to finances is vastly different from telling them who is doing what specifically. Furthermore, this news alienates those who would work with us by making them fearful of being exposed.
Hugh Hewitt is using the analogy that it's one thing if everyone knows that police use radar speed traps and quite another for someone to tell where they're set up (that is actually a crime in most states).
