The New York Times sat on this story for over a year?

On the pretense that the administration requested the story not be published. If that pretense is factual, it means the administration was aware for a year that NYT had the story.

I think Mark Levin has a good handle on this matter - the executaive authority was granted in good faith that warrants would issue. The FISA courts are apprantly s.l.o.w., but the outcome of their process is almost forgone. That is, warrants issue upon application, they are just s.l.o.w. about it.

Thanks, that clears it up a bit more for me.
