Yes
Because government agencies are not allowed to do illegal search and seisure and if they did their case would get thrown out of court.
But if an unaffiliated 3rd party decides to whistle blow or be confidential informant to provide the information that allows for illegal stuff to be recognized, that evidence can be used for legal action against perpetrators.
The other benefit is, sometimes all kinds of f'ed up politics are involved so even when evidence exists no actions are taken but if 3rd party exposes stuff to media then those government agencies get the political pressure to focus their job.
As far as I am concerned, F the terrorist orgs, members, and supporters - foreign or domestic.
