"you have to love the irony of one of the lib media's patron Watergate saints being involved in a way that might destroy the whole house of (marked) cards they have built up."
True and in Woodward's eye this will vindicate ie: return him as a "journalist".
So, Woodward does stand to personally gain.
I remember Matthews saying about 1 year ago, "Anyone who ratted out Plame and is letting Miller stew in jail is not a nice person", or something like that. Mr.Woodward has had this information for longer than anyone in the line of knowlege of who Plame was....and Chris Matthews is treating Woodward like a saint. These newpeople are vacuous.
