On a related note, the New York Times public editor wrote a column about the New York Times' slowness with regards to covering news stories that competitors first broke. Though it does not mention the US Attorney story, apparently it took nearly two months after the Wash Post first wrote about the Walter Reed scandal for the Times to write a short piece about the story, and similarly, nearly 6 months for the Times to cover the story of marines allegedly killing Iraqi civilians in Haditha after Time magazine first broke it.
Though in fairness, this is a common problem with other publications, including the Washington Post.
