Ben Bradlee can sit on the identity of Deep Throat for how many years??? But in this case he hangs a source out to dry? What do these decisions have in common: they both disadvantage Republican administrations.

Sorry, but there's a big diffence between now and then, as far as Bradless's role.
In regard to Watergate, he had pledged confidentiality. Give the guy props for keeping his word all those years.
Now, he's just like us, a spectator and speculator. He can muse, quietly or out loud, about who did what without breaking any promises.
This is not Watergate, and to elevate this petty pseudo-scandal to that level is ridiculous. In fact, I'm tired of every interesting issue having a "gate" plastered on the end.
Oh. please...Armitage was a Bush-basher.....this is GREAT news!!
