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 Thursday, September 12.
Here's what we're covering in the wake of the Harris Trump debate, both campaigns are in full strategy mode, trying to read public reaction and map out their next moves.
With less than two months before the election, 67 million people tuned into the debate, making it the most watched moment of the presidential race.
And many commentators, including some Republicans, have concluded that Harris succeeded in knocking Trump off the messaging his team had hoped he'd stick to.
The debate on Tuesday did not go how Donald Trump's allies and supporters had hoped.
Shane Goldmacher covers Trump's campaign for the Times.
He says while Trump has been calling it his best debate ever, privately, several of his aides and allies have conceded he had a rough performance.
His team had prepared him for pivots during this debate, how to transition from attacks that Kamala Harris was expected to make back to the issues he wanted to talk about, chiefly the economy and immigration.
Instead, he was drawn into the fights that Harris wanted him to have.
His supporters are bracing for the possibility of a series of negative news cycles and even a potential bump in the polls for Kamala Harris.
Now he's looking to get back on track.
