Your point is well-taken; the Google News link didn't show articles that had as "mainstream" a circulation as some.
However, the third link I posted (formatting screwup, sorry) is to a NYT editorial. Some searching on their website (on "dodd hold") turns up two additional recent articles (on 19 and 20 October) that mention Dodd's hold: http://www.nytimes.com/2007/10/20/us/nationalspecial3/20nsa.html http://www.nytimes.com/2007/10/19/washington/19nsa.html
And if you look at the Washington Post, they have a couple of articles (as well as several other items) as well: http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2007/10/18/AR2007101802482.html http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2007/10/18/AR2007101802620.html
Granted, the Chicago Tribune and the LA Times don't have squat. And it's reasonable to ask where the NYT and WaPo articles are in the print editions (no idea, but probably not on the front page). But I do think that the NYT and the WaPo deserve some credit for covering (and following up on) this story in a timely fashion...even if they aren't promoting it as much as they arguably should be. (And I actually give the NYT a lot of credit for having addressed this issue in an editorial...which page does get a lot of eyeballs.)
