Good. Such vulnerabilities should always be reported and fixed, no matter who is abusing them. And it's even better if it wrecks a government operation, they shouldn't even be using these, they should always be reporting them to the software vendor.
I hope this doesn't discourage Google's threat analysis team, and others, from doing the same in the future.
The justification for not intervening is weak too - after all, we only have this article's word for it that the targets were 'terrorists'. They may well just have been freedom fighters, like Nelson Mandela was.
