The NYT had the SOLARWIND story in 2004, and were going to publish it right before the 04 election (October) but sat on it under pressure from the administration. It was over a year before they decided to publish. The story is told by Eric Lichtblau here: http://www.democracynow.org/2008/4/1/exclusivebushs_law_eric_lichtblau_on_exposing http://www.democracynow.org/2008/4/1/exclusivebushs_law_eric... Key quote: > AMY GOODMAN: Is it right, Eric, you were still — the Times wasn’t going to run this story until to your colleague Jim at the New York Times was going to publish his book, and that put the Times in a tremendously awkward position? It’s going to come out anyway, and their reporters are not the ones who are going to reveal it. > ERIC LICHTBLAU: Yeah, that’s true, for the most part. I don't know if this is the right example to support your argument.
