The unbearable arrogance of Bob Woodward (revisited 2)

(For the previous two installments of this series on the Woodward revelation, see here and here.)

Kevin Drum deconstructs Woodward (and his possible motives) here. Digby responds here, Laura Rozen here.

And see this good piece by Viveca Novak at Time:

Woodward expressed some surprise that Fitzgerald hadn't contacted him earlier in the probe, but had high praise for the prosecutor whose investigation he has openly criticized on television. During his time with the prosecutor, Woodward said, he found Fitzgerald "incredibly sensitive to what we do. He didn't infringe on my other reporting, which frankly surprised me. He said 'This is what I need, I don't need any more.'"

Arianna Huffington is all over the story: "So Patrick Fitzgerald is going to impanel a new Plamegate grand jury. Meaning this thing is far from over. And that Bob Woodward, among others, is going to continue to have some more explaining to do."

Indeed.

(Elsewhere, the Post itself has an editorial on "Mr. Woodward's Sources" -- they refer to the whole thing as "the Woodward flap," which seems awfully dismissive to me. Check it out.)
