>Schmidt couldn't have ordered the article spiked

The comment from the writer happened, then Schmidt complained. I don't think the writer asked Schmidt his opinion before he gave his comment.

In other words, Schmidt's actions were a result of the writer's comments, after the fact.

Sorry, 'spiked' was incorrect. I should have said 'pulled', since the article was briefly taken down and then restored. Thanks for catching that.
