Reply #19: Unfortunately, the decision to publish or not publish [View All]

[gratuitous]

The decision when a story runs is up to the editors and the publishers, not the writer. Now, what a conscientious and ethical journalist might do when his paper sits on an incredibly explosive story like this for over a year is another matter entirely, and will not be answered at the New York Times, as they don't have any reporters who fit that description very well.

The question of the delay in publication has been pointedly posed to "Mr." Sulzberger, but he has just as pointedly refused to answer.
