I believe they treated it as a regular "letter tot he Editor" and printed it in the usual spot..

"I believe they treated it as a regular "letter tot he Editor"..."

And I think that's Kaslin's point. It was very unusal and therefore "News" and deserved to be nearer the front of the paper.

"In a protest with an unusual number of high-level signatures, the chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff and each of its five members have fired off a letter assailing a Washington Post cartoon as "beyond tasteless."

That's the way the article begins. Sounds like "News" to me, not just your usual letter to the editor.
