The story of Bush's first and second positions has been widely reported, so I doubt that the NYT would be involved in something as obvious and a nefarious removal.
More interesting is an article in today's Washington Post re. Cheney's influence of US foreign policy. Operating behind the scenes, he has assembled a nimble foreign policy advisory group and is running circles around the larger, more bureaucratized policy groups in the State and Defense Departments. Of course, this also means that Cheney's positions are less examined, less careful.

Guess it says something about the print medium. The piece that we accessed late yesterday noted that the White House was very unhappy with its being out. So I would assume and hope it was addressed on the Sunday morning news programs, though I see by the announcement that it was not scheduled for Meet the Press. http://www.msnbc.com/news/MEETPRESS_Front.asp?0dm=C217V If you want to follow up on this bit of sleuthing, the afternoon broadcast of McLaughlin Group might have something to say or Capital Gang, if it's live. Otherwise, the White House controls the message through the weekend - suggesting pressing work by Powell at the UN. Karen
