According to yesterday’s review of Michael Hayden’s new book, editor Bill Keller and publisher Arthur Sulzberger bravely stood up to the Bushies when, in 2005, they published a story about the administration’s blatantly illegal data-mining program, “Stellarwind.” The problem with this framing of the story is that it leaves out the fact that the paper’s bosses had suppressed the scoop, at Bush’s request, for over a year. In the meantime, of course, there had been a Presidential election on which this news might have had considerable impact. We’ll never know how much impact now, but this we do know: Keller and Sulzberger were hardly the heroic truth-tellers that the reviewer portrays. They made a grave, and I would argue, cowardly error in judgment – and the whole world has had to live with the consequences.
