[Alas Babylon!]

You give him far more credit than he deserves.

He was not CIA. He was born in 1943 and went to Yale in 1961 on a ROTC Navy scholarship. He graduate in 1965 and was assigned to the carrier USSWright. He was assigned as the communications officer and got to handle a lot of classified for the onboard admiral as the ship served as an emergency fleet command post. He got out after five years ( in 1971) and got his gig at the Washington Post. The Watergate story broke in his rookie year there.

There’s no time to fit a CIA career or even much field work in all of that short time.

No doubt he lies and pads his resume but the guy is a real poser.

He was not CIA.

What the poster meant is that Woodward provided cover for the CIA. He had extensive knowledge of the CIA's involvement in the Watergate break-in, but never reported any of it. It wasn't the correct narrative.
