If we engage in such behavior, it legitimizes such action for other less honorable and democratic state actors. That doesn't mean I'm opposed - but these actions will make us look stupid when we condemn other countries for doing the same thing. The world has a lot of problems with non-state nationalistic groups. I'm not certain the cost-benefit analysis comes up positive, unless the people/info they got is really, really good. We aren't going to know that...
