Came across this in the Days’ Headlines at Democracy Now..

The New York Times has published a controversial, White House-censored article critical of US policy towards Iran. The Bush administration had blocked the piece on the grounds it contains classified information. The op-ed is co-authored by Former National Security Council official Flynt Leverett. The New York Times did not defy the White House censorship and published the piece in redacted form. Leverett has argued the White House demanded the removal of sections detailing publicly known information about how Iran cooperated after the 9/11 attacks and offered to negotiate a diplomatic settlement three years ago. In an accompanying statement, Leverett writes he will continue to campaign for the article’s publication without White House censorship.
