It's reasonable for good journalistic organizations to have access to secret government records. They just need to be responsible with them. The same discussion happens any time there's a leak of intelligence/surveillance/military documents. What if the info puts soldiers at risk? Well, the ethics of that are up to the journalistic organization to tackle. They're the best equipped to do that, with their training and standards. Now if someone just sold the records to TMZ or something, that's a different conversation.
