I think its irresponsible for the NYT to be publishing details about the whistle-blower that could help the White House identify them
The president just not-so-subtlety threatened the life of this person and anyone they talked to

It doesn't advance the story at all. It was clearly someone knowledgeable about the region who was in contact with people at the White House
Putting this person in danger by listing the agency they work for and how they might have gotten the info is a poor decision

This makes no sense. It was already possible to compare the whistle-blower's report with the summary released by the White House. And the whistle-blower names witnesses who could verify other aspects of the report. 
Mark S. Zaid, attorney for whistle-blower: "Publishing details about the whistleblower will only lead to identification of someone, whether our client or the wrong person, as the whistleblower. This will place this individual in a much more dangerous situation"
