In a column highly critical of Woodward's conduct, Washington Post ombudsman Deborah Howell said the newspaper took a "hit to its credibility" and called for more oversight of Woodward's work.
NOTE TO MISS HOWELL: The "Washington Post" lost its credibility long ago, except in Hanoi, Pyongyang, Havana, and Cambridge, MA.
Don't forget to add Ithaca, NY; Madison, WI; and the Peoples Democratic Republic of Arlington, VA to your list.
Credibility? That's a laugh!
On March 23rd The Washington Post joined with thirty five other media organisations in filing an Amici Curae brief in the US Appeals Court for the District of Columbia in defense of Judith Miller that claimed that Ms Plame did not qualify as a covert agent and that there was no crime in discussing her status. The brief was well reasoned and quite explicit. http://www.bakerlaw.com/files/tbl_s10News/FileUpload44/10159/Amici%20Brief%20032305%20(Final).PDF
Now, Woodward is rebuked for not revealing that he was involved in something that the Washington Post pleaded before the court was nothing at all in the first place.
