The NYT writer is an honorable man. His point that the NYT "never" allowed
any writer to list their sources. Saying that the use of others while necessary,
was a dirty truth best left out. This fact was glossed over in the hype.

You may well be right. I suspected at the time that the Byline
Terrorist got the axe largely to blunt the awfulness of the NYT's
error in the case of the Reporter Who Neglected to the Place He Was
Supposedly Writing From. They turned a case of editorial misjudgment
and reverse discrimination into a case of boys will be boys.
