Journalists and office staff in First Look's line of business should definitely be aware of these risks. But it's certainly possible that they simply failed here. That possibility warrants an internal investigation, to determine the nature of the failure, and to signal internally and publically that they take their responsibility to sources seriously. No organization likes to be criticized from within. But some organizations are strengthened by their reaction to criticism (whatever the source), and others are diminished. Laura Poitras is a credible party. I'm inclined to believe her side of the story here.
