Brief CBS News Video from “60 Minutes” of Bob Woodward — who now sees the light. Worth a look.
Dan Froomkin reminds us:
[Woodward’s] first two books on Bush — “Bush at War” and “Plan of Attack” — were largely flattering depictions of the president.
Woodward’s image took a major bruising last November, (see my November 16 column ) when it was revealed that he had kept secret for more than two years that he was the first reporter to whom a senior administration official leaked the identity of CIA operative Valerie Plame.
Woodward apologized for failing to tell his superiors at The Post. But the irony of a journalist sitting on information like that, along with murmurings in Washington about what he had given up in return for the unparalleled access to the Bush White House, combined to raise doubts about his reportage.
