Just FYI in the event that you don't know.. the NYT's has been heavily criticized for that article by the AP:

The grey lady ain't what she used to be like back in the days of the pentagon papers.
For a recent example look at the withholding of information to the public on Raymond Davis, who was arrested in Pakistan: the NYT deliberately withheld what they knew to be the case, that Davis was in fact CIA, and produced article after article omitting that fact and misleading the public.
All this at the US governments request!
It wasn't until the Guardian reported it that they admitted all this.
