It seems to me the NYT editorial doesn't specifically endorse anything... it just says what elements would make up an acceptable treaty:

> A good agreement would lower duties and trade barriers on most products and services, strengthen labor and environmental protections, limit the ability of governments to tilt the playing field in favor of state-owned firms and balance the interests of consumers and creators of intellectual property. Such a deal will not only help individual countries but set an example for global trade talks.

What part of the editorial is endorsing a specific secret text or giving blanket approval to any deal?
