I understand your point, Dan, but I feel just as srgnotly that newspapers can't have it both ways (much like I feel that police officers and teachers and other public srevants don't have any more free speech rights than workers in the private sector). If you're going to require commentators to identify themselves, in the name of journalistic integrity, then editorials should be held to the same standard. In that vein, I don't think any editorial writer ought to be compelled to write an opinion they don't agree with. It should be like Supreme Court decisions, which, while we know they're written by clerks, still have the signature of the justice. Just my two cents ;-)
