More evidence that the Bush W.H. is filled with thugs.
They simply must be brought down hard!
Magazine Details White House Pressure on 'NYT':
NEW YORK A wide-ranging cover story on the current state of The New York Times in this week's New York magazine offers, among other things, fresh details about the pressure brought on the paper by the Bush administration to hold back on its National Security Agency spying story late last year. By that point, it had already been held for over a year, but 11 days later the Times went ahead with it, and it would win a Puilitzer Prize in the spring.
The cover is mainly a mock front page of the Times with pictures of President Bush and the paper's executive editor, Bill Keller. The banner cover line is 'Times Under Siege' and in the deck we learn, 'President says editor will have 'blood on his hands.'' Another 'story' on the cover about Keller is headlined, 'Reluctant Leader Goaded to Fight.'
A focus is the Dec. 5, 2005, meeting at the White House, where three top Timesmen -- Keller, Publisher Arthur O. Sulzberger, Jr. and Washington bureau chief Phil Taubman -- had been summoned in an attempt to kill or further delay the NSA story.
