I'm an intelligence reporter at the New York Times.
I try to find out what the us government is keeping secret.
It takes a lot of time to find people willing to talk about those secrets.
It requires talking to a lot of people to make sure that we're not misled and that we give a complete story to our readers.
If the New York Times was not reporting these stories, some of them might never come to light.

Today's Tuesday, September 17.
Here's what we're covering.
As former President Trump was moving through the fifth fairway, the agent saw the subject armed with what he perceived to be a rifle, and immediately discharged his firearm.
The subject, who did not have line of sight to the former president, fled the scene.
He did not fire or get off any shots.
The Secret Service has provided new details about the apparent assassination attempt against Donald Trump at his golf course on Sunday, fueling new questions about the agencys ability to do its job.
Cell phone records show that the suspect got to the golf course in the middle of the night and stayed there undetected for almost 12 hours before he was spotted hiding in the bushes with a rifle.
At a press conference yesterday afternoon, the acting director of the Secret Service, Ronald Rowe, admitted agents did not search the perimeter of the course before Trump started golfing.
Still, Roe defended the agency's methods as, quote, effective.
The agent's hyper vigilance and the detailed, swift action was textbook, and I commend them and our partners for an exemplary response and keeping former President Trump safe.
Other law enforcement officials, meanwhile, including former Secret Service agents, are raising concerns.
