Bob Woodward

On Larry King tonight, Bob Woodward was the guest of the evening. Mr. Woodward used to be an investigative reporter of some renown. What he is today is unclear but nonetheless, he is part of the Plame Game. He reported that a source told him that Ms. Plame was a CIA analyst. Woodward further stated that in his experience CIA analysts were not undercover agents. That is fine except that it isn't a question of what Woodward knew but rather what Woodward's source knew. Whether Woodward knew that Valerie Plame was an agent is not the story. Did the source know? If the source was high enough in the Administration they better darn well have known. Since when did Bob Woodward the reporter become Bob Woodward the participant? If he knew, while commenting on countless news programs, that he had information and was a participant in the story beyond what the public knew, it would seems that he should have recused himself from the story once the investigation was started. What Woodward knew is not the crime. What the source knew might be indictable.
