Read the article more carefully.
At no time does the NYT trash Wilson. They even report the allegations he made in his July op-ed, then leave them hanging in the air...without noting that Wilson's allegations were totally discredited.
They're not even trashing Fitzgerald. They are simply raising questions about his behavior. I suspect, instead, they are in fact setting up a defense against the government prosecutor who calls them on their role in revealing the NSA and SWIFT intelligence gathering programs.
What a bunch of pansy-ass traitors.

That's an excellent point and I think you're right. I also think they're sending a message to the Wilsons to drop their civil suit before members of the press have to start making depositions.
