To the NYT and WP: It's about the ethics, stupid. 
Cross-posted at DailyKos
There's an editorial in today's Washington Post on the brouhaha surrounding Bob Woodward.
And as with the NYT did with Judy Miller, they just don't get it.
But the principle remains valid: It's not in the public interest for reporters to be forced to reveal their confidential sources in cases such as this. That's why Post reporter Bob Woodward should not be vilified for protecting the identity of his source in this complex affair.
Excuse me, but nobody is vilifying Bob Woodward for protecting the identity of his source. They are vilifying him for being a part of the story, and using his 'vaulted' experience to undermine the investigation.
More.....
Wait... There's more! (2 comments, 432 words in story)
