Dowd's/NYT's dateline problem

Read the story at the above link (from blogger/reporter Greg Sargent) about esteemed New York Times columnist Maureen Dowd. She apparently filed a story from Jerusalem with the dateline of a city in New Hampshire! Yeow. The NYT says this is no problem. What do you think? Misleading or not?

Also, the NYT editorial page editor is quoted in a New York Observer story at this link:
