Bob Woodard's book and the NYT Op Ed: a coincidence?

There are lots of posts already about the Op Ed, so my apologies if this has already been mentioned...

The timing, with regards to the Bob Woodward book, seems funny, like the writer is expecting a load of backlash and wants to defuse some of it before they all have to defend themselves.

It would have probably been too obvious to get it published in the WaPo, so so "they" went to the NYT.

The Op Ed has a hyperlink that goes to the Woodward book article. I think clearly this is a reaction to the book and it greatly increases the credibility of Woodward's book.
