The Public Editor of the Times-- nominally responsible to the readers -- tried to investigate the reasons for the delay, and in particular wehther or not the article
should have been published before the election. He reports in today's paper (http://www.nytimes.com/2006/01/01/opinion/01publiceditor.html) that the executive and editor and the publisher of the Times have decline to provide any explanation whatsoever for the delay: "there isreally no way to have a full discussion of the back story without talking
about when and how we knew what we knew, and we can't do that." --Steven M.
