#1 They were reporters practicing their trade. That *is* espionage by Hermit Kingdom standards.

I'm kind of surprised to hear that they were New Media types, though. I thought that the web kiddies didn't do actual ground reporting. I guess I was wrong.

#2 Maybe its time to start using journalism as a cover for spies. Why show deference to the news trade when they show none back? I think I'd start with making all my guys claim they work for the NYT. Work it to the point where most places on the planet if you say you work for the NYT they chuckle and just assume you are CIA.
