Bob Woodward’s Monday-morning exclusive on a 66-page report from Gen. Stanley McChrystal to President Barack Obama about Afghanistan policy was a rite of passage for the new administration: the first major national security leak and a sure sign that the celebrated Washington Post reporter has penetrated yet another administration.
White House officials greeted the leak with a grimace, but none suggested they’d begin a witch hunt for the leaker. Woodward is famous for his access to the principals themselves — he recently traveled to Afghanistan with National Security Adviser James Jones — and leak hunters couldn’t expect with confidence that they’d find themselves disciplining just an undisciplined junior staffer.

Does the person who wrote that live in Washington DC and have ANY CLUE WHATSOEVER the way things work here? And only the village idiot wouldn’t be able to figure out where he got that story. Leaks are the mother’s milk of DC journalism, and Woodward is the biggest consumer thereof in the entire mediasphere.
