Since it's Newsweek, I can only post the first few paragraphs. But I strongly suggest you go read the whole article, and see just how shameful and bankrupt the concept of "journalistic ethics" is in the 21st Century. Largely, it's "Do as I say, not as I do."

Sort of like CEO ethics, yes? Bottom line, it stinks everywhere.

Journalistic "ethics". French "resistance". military "intelligence".

Shall I go on?

There really has to be way more to the story than has been aired to date. He turned the FBI on the girl and that seems to be the straw that broke the camel's back, but it has to get way better from there.

Further along in the article, the author asks some excellent questions:

"Why, after 14 years, did a woman who seems to have had, at most, a handful of encounters with Greene, contact him? What did she want? Why did Greene call the FBI? What did the woman’s e-mail to the Tribune’s tip line say?"

If Bob Greene were a "personality" at a major corporation (or a congressional Republican), the Tribune would be all over this story, and would never let go. Major hypocrisy!
