Agreed, however that does not relieve the NYT of their responsibility.
The press still has a responsibility to be judicious about what they print, especially in times of war. This program was not illegal and was working very well. There was no scandal involved, no coverup to expose. The NYT was just jumping on the bandwagon to try and pin another one on Bush and this one backfired. I think the editor, owner and writer of the story should be prosecuted along with the leakers.
