Reporters covering each other butts... interesting.

[TexasCajun]

a Post story today about Woodward's testimony on Monday before special prosecutor Patrick Fitzgerald...

I thought Fitzgerald's business was over with?

[Brilliant]

Beginning to look like Woodward might have been the unnamed "reporter" who told Rove and Libby that Plame was CIA. He obviously doesn't want to testify, probably because he knows it will clear Libby.

[debg]

Pincus said he did not believe Woodward had purposely lied about their conversation...

Pincus saying Woodward lied (but not on purpose?)

[Reagan Man]

What did Woodward know and when did he know it?

[ladyjane]

This is all so stupid. Half of Washington knew she worked over there.

[pinz-n-needlez]

Pincus said he did not believe Woodward had purposely lied about their conversation, saying, "I think he thought he told me something."

Big of him. 'Course, he never thought that Wilson was lying while he (Pincus) took dictation... Libby's lawyer just labeled Woodward's disclosure a "bombshell!" Heh, heh, heh. Pinz

PINKUS DINKUS

Something is hitting the fan at the Washington comPost.

Woodward has issued an apology to the comPost's editor.

[dead]

That giant sucking sound you hear is Fitzgerald's case against Libby.

[Ramius]

How can this story still have any legs? It's just mystifying. Even if everything that anybody thinks is true, is ture, it's all just about the dumbest and most pointless excercise ever.

You'd think that it was about somebody travelling to our enemies and disclosing invasion plans or something.

[Siena Dreaming]

Actually, Woodward has just exposed Pinkus.

Pinkus here trying to cover his own butt.

[dirtboy]

Pincus gave his deposition to Fitzgerald in September 2004, in which he spoke about a conversation with a source related to the Plame case, but has never disclosed the identity of the source.

No wonder Pincus is denying that Woodward told him about Plame.

[Personal Responsibility]

But Woodward is a liberal journalistic icon. He could not possibly be involved...

[Cicero]

I might hope that Fitzgerald would actually go after the real perps--Wilson, Plame, and their friends in the left wing press--if he had not revealed, when he indicted only Libby, that he is nothing but another lying, left-wing stooge.

I don't think anyone should get his hopes up that Fitzgerald will ferret out the truth anytime soon, because his intentions appear to be quite different.

[AliVeritas]

What a lying sack of sh** this Pincus is. Just like he backtracked and said Joe maybe didn't tell me he 'saw' the forged documents... I misunderstood him. He backtracked on a couple other subjects of his first piece. Even mods and libs talk about this guy (love him or hate him), was always right on in facts when you read him... they are flummoxed on how since the Wilson story, all his professionalism jumped out the window.

[Howlin]

In today's Post story, by reporters Jim VandeHei and Carol Leonnig, Woodward is quoted as saying he told Pincus that he knew about Plame's true identity as a CIA operative in 2003.

No, he most certainly did NOT say that.

[AliVeritas]

They keep saying a White House official told him, I could have sworn he testified it was a high level CIA person... big difference.

[M. Peach]

I have a question - Why is it that this incident is getting 10 times the coverage Berger got from stealing and destroying top secret information from the government?

And what did Berger get? I think it was probation -

[cubreporter]

Pincus...Poor little Pincus. :)

[Califelephant]

If you listen very, very carefully, you will hear the mainstream media starting to mumble some quiet prayers: "please God, stop this case before it goes to trial!"
