Do you think the NYT would have done this in 2009, if an Obama advisor wrote the same thing anonymously?

The difference is that the NYT knows who wrote it and an anonymous letter coming in the door isn't going to be published by any newspaper. They have said that other op eds (I think 2 or 3) have been published in a similiar fashion.
I would hope they would do the same w/Obama but we haven't had a situation like this before - maybe Nixon?
