Who ever accused him of that?
Does Woodward have a book coming out?
uh, the WashPost is a 'good newspaper'? Who knew?
Wouldn't it be wonderful if the WP, NYT, CBS, NBC , ABC etc did the same?
And yet somehow...somehow... life goes on....
Had he talked, it might have affected prosecutor Fitzgerald's decision to indict.When the indictment is withdrawn it will be Woodwards fault. I wonder what their advisors are telling them about this that makes them so angry at Woodward? Whatever it is it isn't good.
More like Woodward failed to deliver for the left ... so far ... this time.
Merry Fitzmas Tampa Tribune, etal!
Woodward & Miller are like two members of the Capone mob who got 'enthusiasms'. They forgot that the MSM/DNC cabal was a 'team' effort... and once they started playing for themselves... they became 'bums'.
So many of the press seem themselfs as bigger than the story and have stoped reporting events but now feature how their extreme status is affected by the story.
As much as I loathe Woodward, he has more integrity than the editorial writers and news editors at the Tampa Tribune and every other MSM liberal rag combined.
Why should Woodward have to apologise? He didn't lie about anything? Woodward's silence means diddly-squat if he never was asked to testify...It means absolutely nothing!
"for two years he withheld important information about the CIA leak investigation that led to the indictment of Vice President Cheney's top aide, I. Lewis "Scooter" Libby..."
"Had he talked, it might have affected prosecutor Fitzgerald's decision to indict."
This editorial briefly mentions the important ramifications of his keeping silent and then whines on about how Woodward must be too much of a Washington insider and author to be "one of them" anymore. The self-serving whine doesn't mention how Woodward's silence affected Libby and his life and family, the jurors, and the American people who had to pay for the investigation to continue longer than necessary.
I hope Fitzgerald charges Woodward with obstructing justice.
How about fining Woodward a few million dollars to cover expenses incurred because he didn't come forward 2 yrs ago?
Enough of the media's concern with their own navel. . Woodward - protecting his self-interests only; co-opted Justice here. . .by his silence, he aided and abetted this 'conspiracy' to bring down a President.
He watched in silence as Scooter Libby was indicted; and thought the most he had to do. . .was publicly, be dismissive of this taxpayer-funded investigation.
All the maneurverings of 'truth' were fine; as long as it was GW that was being targeted. Now that media is shown with egg on it's face; their credibility challenged; they are upset.
A credibility of course, that the MSM willing has given up so as to further agendas of their own and on behalf of the radical left -now DNC.
Woodward was NOT the first reporter to learn of Valerie Plame's identity. Unless Leslie Stahl is a liar when she appears on TV.
Hmmm. Seems like the editorial is more suited in tone to criticise Dan Rather. However that never happened with this tone from the MSM.
I guess its OK to be totally unethical as a reporter as long as you aid the lefties' causes. But heaven help you if you screw up their efforts to tar and feather a REPUB administration.
Only by other reporters......
MSM Fails by holding back positive results in Iraq.
>>The first duty of a reporter is to tell people what's going on.<<
What a load of crap.
With the current crop of crap that calls itself journalism,
its more like " the first duty of a reporter is to expose everything thats bad of the enemy and bury everything thats bad of the friend ".
For those without a playbook:
"enemy = Republican administrations, US military"
"friend = Democrat administrations, OBL, Zarqawi"
Woodward's a has-been!
I don't think that this is true either. Kristof of the NYT was first I believe and he was told by either Wilson or Plame herself.
Face the facts...Woodward is a shite eating, two faced lier and a puke licking demoncrap dog. I would put it more stronger but being Woody is an illegitmate Clinton-kennedy swine pervaricating asswipe, I will give him some benefit for being albe to lie even without moving his lips, like Hitlery Roddamb.
