The Plot Thickens

Bob Woodward has been dragged into the Plamegate scandal after acknowledging to the Washington Post that a senior administration official had discussed Joe Wilson’s wife with him more than two years ago.

Woodward has been a critic of the investigation into the leak of Valerie Wilson’s name, yet he never disclsed his own involvement in the story. Woodward has apologized to the Post for withholding this information.

This stinks. Woodward should have kept his mouth shut and refrained from commenting on this case in light of these facts. He was already starting to come across as an apologist for the Bush administration, and this new disclosure further tarnishes his golden reputation.
