It wasn’t NYT and it wasn’t a single sentence. It was a 3 part series by the Washington Post.

I know because I read that single sentence on page 6 of a NYT article. This must have been 2010, back when people bought printed newspapers. I followed civil liberties pretty close back then and it was the first I heard it discussed.

That's part of the plan. Those WaPo articles carry a different tone if it's breaking news vs following up on a already broken story.
