Wikileaks has published the FBI report on this case. I truly believe they were acting in good faith here. During investigation or operation they identified the location of and seized the Playpen server. Instead of ending it there. They ran it for 2 weeks and served malware on it to track users. Then shut it down and busted users. They might have been operating illegally but those illegal actions have led to many more arrests than if they had just ended it with the server seizure.
But each of those children in the images were victmized for two more week. That is not ok. This is a serious heinous crime. Can you imagine murdering just a few more people to catch one more murderer?! No. No .No.

it's a bitter pill but who knows how many more children are going to be saved in the end result, but I completely understand your point of view.
