The reporter Woodward is becoming something of a joke. He keeps telling us what people who are dead were thinking. Since the person is dead there is no way to check Woodward's veracity. I lost confidence in Woodward after his supposed interview with a man who was in a coma, and died shortly after the supposed interview. Why does anyone pay attention to this guy. The revelations the recently deceased gave him are always spectacular, and usually are damaging to Republicans. Woodward knew who leaked Valarie Plame's name, but didn't see fit to tell anyone to stop what has turned into a huge waste of money and a miscarriage of justice; but, as the perpetrators of the hoax intended, it did harm Republicans. I hold Woodward in low regard.
