Good theory except it is based on the assumption that the writer and NYTimes were intent on undermining the US govt.
If this is not a high level official working in the Whitehouse then the NYTimes is complicit in some very evil behavior that will certainly be the end of the NYTimes. I don't believe that is the case. I speak from my own perspective, my Dad used to be a VP at the NYTimes and both my father and mother were journalists.
I don't believe a guy with Woodward's reputation or the NYTimes reputation would throw it all away for this.
