I wouldn't brag about an affiliation to the NYT on this story, they're acting to undercut its significance. The reason why the WL dox came out last night is that Domscheit leaked them to the NYT (the NYT was not a primary recipient) and the NYT was trying to steal WL's thunder. Notice that the NYT had five stories published within a couple of hours, each multiple pages long. They were already ready to go, and notice the hawk-serving angle (recidivism) on all of them.
No, I wouldn't brag on his behalf, as nice as the applet is.
The Guantánamo Docket is a relaunch/redesign of an NYT project from 3 years ago.
Andrei Scheinkman, Alan McLean, and Archie Tse of the Times, and Margot Williams of NPR, all deserve far more credit for making it happen under an impossible deadline.
Yeah, he's the kind of guy who is too busy getting things done to work on a personal site. Still, I find it amazing that he still manages to make some comments here from time to time.

Don't miss the detainee population visualizations put together by the NYT with help from CoffeeScript/Underscore/Backbone wizard Jeremy Ashkenas:

A wizard is never late, nor is he early, he arrives precisely when he means to.
How is he a "wizard"? His personal site seems to feature graphics libraries.
He is the primary author of Coffeescript: https://github.com/jashkenas/coffee-script
I am not sure, but I believe he also has authored or contributed to the others.
Author of backbone.js and underscore.js as well.
