I think the reason why the reporter went "undercover" (this gal is about as stealthy as Valerie Plame) was so that when she wrote the story, she could give it a sinister spin.

I think she wanted to start off the story about how she "had" to sneak into the Intelligent Designers meeting. And then she'd reveal something about Intelligent Design, which is openly discussed, as if it was something that the IDer's were intentionally hiding. I can well imagine that she'd throw in a couple of out of context quotes for flavor.

Having not read her story [and has her story even been written?] I find it difficult to speculate that she could write anything new, or even informative, about ID, or how she would be writing it. As I mentioned before, no information there. Thus I do not know how sinister her spin would be. At best [if practiced in a nursing home], ID is harmless, and at its worst [if practiced in a school] is harmful to this country scientific and technological leads. OTOH, I could easily believe that the ID'ers themselves could present juicy pieces to write about.
