I thought from another poster he has the President's permission to speak to Woodward.

He did. For every book Woodward has written since 2001. I saw one interview after the last book where it was said a lot of the people didn't want to talk to Woodward and the President told them to do it. In his interview, this morning on FOX, Card said the President encouraged it, but he probably said too much on the record.

I'm sure he did have permission to speak to Woodward, but there is no way the President didn't feel Card's back stab in this situation. As an inner circle adviser to our Commander in Chief, blabbing confidential advice to get rid of Rumsfeld in a time of war, should never have reached the media's ears.
