But does this mean that Woodward is participating in a plan to bring down another person who is even higher?

This stinks.

In all honesty, Woodward is the poster boy of the left.

You're thinking along the same lines as I am. I don't trust Woodward, and I don't trust his motives in coming out at this particular time with this story.

Woodward has been a lifelong Republican.

FWIW, as I understand it Woodward has ALWAYS said this entire investigation should be dropped.

At first I wondered why, but I now believe that it is because in the end, Woodward knows that the press will be damaged the most and the White house will be left virtually unscathed.

I believe Woodward is no longer about "bringing down the White house." He is about saving whatever is left of the journalistic profession. He knows that history is a fickle thing and that if the press is shown to be lying idiots now, that will reflect back on what was done then. So he wants to "clean house" before there is nothing left.

I have said it before, and I will say it again. The only apparent disconnect in Libby's testimony, that could not be explained away by muddled recollection is the Russert thing. As I understand it, Russert never testified under oath, or in front of the Grand Jury. RUSSERT continues to be the problem here and in the end I still believe that if the investigation continues this will destroy his career.

What I think will happen is the whole thing will be dropped and we will never see hide nor hair of it again.

Glad to know somebody beside me never trusted Woodward all the way back to Nixon. Could he be a Democrat operative all these years?
