On the afternoon of Dec. 15, New York Times executives put the paper?s preferred First Amendment lawyer, Floyd Abrams, on standby. In the pipeline for the next day?s paper was a story that President George W. Bush had specifically asked the paper not to run, revealing that the National Security Agency had been wiretapping Americans without using warrants.
The President had made the request in person, nine days before, in an Oval Office meeting with publisher Arthur O. Sulzberger Jr., executive editor Bill Keller and Washington bureau chief Phil Taubman, according to Times sources familiar with the meeting.
That Dec. 6 session with Mr. Bush was the culmination of a 14-month struggle between The Times and the White House?and a parallel struggle behind the scenes at The Times?over the wiretapping story. In the end, Mr. Abrams? services were not needed. The piece made it to press without further incident.

If it is " so legal" why would Bush care, dumbell???
BTW, no response to the torture article .... To run places like that, it takes a guy like Saddam, or the TRoyal Saudi family, or a dictator general in Pakistan ...
