Text of Bob Woodward's StatementOn Monday, November 14, I testified under oath in a sworn deposition to Special Counsel Patrick J. Fitzgerald for more than two hours about small portions of interviews I conducted with three current or former Bush administration officials that relate to the investigation of the public disclosure of the identity of undercover CIA officer Valerie Plame.
It appears to me that the Washington Post has a Judy Miller problem of its own now, with Bob Woodward. The guy has been spoonfeeding his opinion on the Plame case in the press, mostly to the benefit of the Bush Administration, and never, ever letting on that he was involved.
Washington Post: follow the Miller example. Shitcan Bob Woodward. He is a pawn. Do him a favor, and release him from the value that allows him to be so used.
Note: Atrios is all over this. Woodward has crapped on himself countless times in the media on this issue in the past several months. There shouldn't be any delay by the Post. Woodward's words mean nothing, NOTHING, now. He's discredited himself. Fire him. And now, my favorite part. The blogosphere is linking Woodward to Judy Miller. They might as well be Bob Miller and Judy Woodward at this point. Here's a taste:
TalkLeft: Is Bob Woodward the Next Judy Miller?
Media is a Plural: Woodward: Mr. Run Amok?
NewMexiKen: Judy Woodward
Marc Cooper: Who does Woodward think he is? Judy Miller?
The Left Coaster: What do Bob Woodward and Judy Miller have in common?
You can almost feel sorry for Woodward. Almost. Fire him.
