  Sympathy for Bill Keller. - By Jack Shafer - Slate Magazine
If you were Bill Keller, would you insist on publishing the story as is?

Also, the scoop and this Bill Keller statement stated the paper held the NSA story for "a year." The Los Angeles Times throws doubt on that time line, reporting that people in the New York Times debated publishing the story before the 2004 election.
