You are correct -- Woodward spoke at the OU Gaylord School of Journalism and he told the students to never write a story when you are part of a story. He said you can work with the author but you are to never become the story you write.

My daughter was impressed with his candiness and his telling the journalism students that ethics count the most. He talked about his access at the White House for the book he wrote and how he appreciated everyone he came in contact with there.

Is anyone bothered by the moral terpitude exemplified by Woodward in coming forward only after his 'position' was jeopardized by his contact, who told Woodward that he was going to notify Fitzgerald that he spoke to Woodward on the subject a month before the Novak article came out. Woodward was perfectly content to let an innocent man twist in the wind to keep from being called to the grand jury. Morally vacuous position. This is the same morality Andrea Mitchell has demonstrated.

Does anyone believe they can tell anyone the unvarnished truth?
