"Calame said "the most obvious and troublesome omission" in the Times' explanation was failing to say whether the paper knew about the politically damaging information before Bush's victory in the 2004 election."

This is the most telling statement of all, how they lament the fact that if enough people in Ohio could have been twisted in believing this just before the election we would be saying "President Kerry".

That's how I read it, as damaging to President Bush. Without knowing this gentleman's character, I would naturally assume the NYTimes would do anything in it's power to destroy President Bush, as they normally operate. A lot of readers seem to indicate otherwise.
