Given the legality of the operation, feels more like knowing a bank is going to be robbed but not telling the police.
(Semafor) - The New York Times and Washington Post learned of a secret US raid on Venezuela soon before it was scheduled to begin Friday night — but held off publishing what they knew to avoid endangering US troops ..
