The adversarial relationship between Washington and Moscow prevented U.S. officials from sharing any information about the plot beyond what was necessary, out of fear Russian authorities might learn their intelligence sources or methods.

Espionage is kinda shady in nature.

Do you think they should have outed their spies, dooming them to a certain death?

I think they shouldn't be funding the groups committing these acts in the first place.

Does the US fund ISIS?

The US has funded and trained ISIS through the CIA since its inception, and is responsible for its creation in the first place.

The US is also directly responsible for the creation of Al Qaeda. Unfortunately another country's citizens are paying the price this time.
