	CNN.com - Woodward adds twist to CIA leak case - Nov 17, 2005
		Woodward said he was contacted to testify after his source went to Fitzgerald to discuss his contact with Woodward related to the leak investigation.
		Woodward said he testified that the official's reference to Plame, referred to as "Joe Wilson's wife," was "casual and offhand, and that it did not appear to me to be either classified or sensitive." Woodward said he believed that CIA analysts usually were not undercover.
		Woodward said it was possible that he could have asked Libby about Wilson's wife, according to his statement, but no references to her appear in his interview notes.

		Bob Woodward: The story was incremental and we wrote hundreds of different stories that were all pieces of a puzzle.
		Bob Woodward: Carl and I had some of the most intense fights about the substance of the story and where it was going, but the editors, including Bradlee, always mediated successfully.
		Bob Gates, who was Casey's deputy and later became the CIA director, stated categorically in his book that Casey talked to me regularly.

	Probe V3N2: Bob Woodward
		Although it would answer a lot of questions that have been raised about Bob Woodward, at this point one can only speculate as to whether he was offered the chance to become a "double-wallet guy," as CIA agents who have two identities are dubbed.
		What is suspicious is Woodward's semi-admittance to Hougan that he had done some briefing, and his complete denial to Colodny and Gettlin that he had ever briefed anyone at the White House.
		According to one of Havill's sources, Woodward was not merely asked to leave, as Woodward reported in his book, but was forcibly shoved into the elevator.

	The Blog \| Arianna Huffington: Bob Woodward, the Dumb Blonde of American Journalism \| The Huffington Post
		Woodward also told King: "I am strictly in the middle." The problem is, the truth isn't always in the middle; it's often located on the sidelines, or hiding in the shadows amidst the endless rush of detail Woodward so loves to fill his books with.
		Woodward is a master of offering readers minute details that give them a sense of being a behind-the-scenes observer of history in the making, but which, in fact, mask the real story of what is going on.
		The exposure of Woodward as the sycophantic fraud that he is should be a lesson for all writers and journalists who might have to bite the next hand that comes their way, whether or not it's the hand that feeds them.

	Salon: Bob Woodward
		I tell the story to illustrate in miniature something that is applicable on a wider scale -- the role of Bob Woodward as a gatekeeper in the nation's capital and at the capital's most powerful newspaper.
		Woodward may have thought he was drawing Casey out, but Casey -- who procured a special off-the-record apartment in which to meet with the celebrated reporter -- undoubtedly thought he was leading Woodward on.
		Woodward may to some extent have made up for the colossal lapse in attention that had characterized his paper's attitude to the Iran-Contra dealings, but Casey had the last laugh in contriving to present a high-level coup as a "rogue" operation.

		Woodward had taken the flag back to his apartment and one of his friends had stuck it into an old flower pot on the balcony.
		When Woodward needed to ask "Deep Throat" something, he was to put a flower pot with a red flag in it on his sixth floor balcony, which, we are supposed to believe, this high level source checked daily.

	Bob Woodward
		Bob Woodward went to Yale, served in the Navy, and went into journalism 1972 with the Montgomery County Sentinel in Rockville, MD. It took him a year to latch on with the Washington Post, and it was two years later when he and Bernstein were assigned the Watergate story.
		Woodward was the lead reporter in the Post's coverage of Sept. 11, 2001, picking up a second Pulitzer in 2002.
		Woodward's post-Watergate books are knocked by some as factually-challenged, with a penchant for "novelizing" historical events and inventing conversation that help move the story along.

		Woodward, with his strong sense of his own importance and his desire to write history, might be piqued at being so mocked not only by the Secretary of Defense, but by the Pentagon press corps as well.
		Woodward was writing a story in which the material he gathered as a journalist is routinely compromised in the service of his narrative.

	Bob Woodward Replies
		I presume that had Woodward's source(s) informed him about the provocation proposal, he would have decided that the "focus" of the meeting was not solely Blair's political needs and he would have included this proposed provocation scheme in his account and claimed it as the scoop it would have been.
		Woodward was that the President of the United States was willing to stage a bogus attack on the U.N. in order to 'justify' an attack on Iraq.
		I say this because none of the examples in Woodward's complaint fails to gloss over the genuine character of the president and presidency as war with Iraq was decided upon and the final arm-twisting to get Blair on board took place.

	Swans Commentary: Debunking Bob Woodward, by Louis Proyect - lproy31
		Felt's willingness to speak to Woodward seems to have had more to do with resentment at being passed over for a promotion rather than anger over civil liberties violations, especially in light of his role in approving nine fl-bag jobs at the New York homes of Weather Underground sympathizers in early 1973.
		Cooke, an ambitious African-American reporter who reported to Woodward and who was under pressure to deliver sensational stories about the "fl experience," began reporting on a fl eight-year-old heroin addict in 1980 she only called "Jimmy." These stories would eventually win her the Pulitzer Prize.
		Woodward's readers must trust Woodward, and those who recall Woodward's purported deathbed interview with CIA Director William Casey -- an interview that Bill Casey's widow says never happened -- may wish to read verbatim conversations with a skeptical eye.

		Woodward's father was a prominent attorney, and hoped that Robert would follow in his footsteps.
		Although Woodward and Bernstein were able to link the burglary of Democratic National Headquarters to operatives inside the Nixon White House, and to President Nixon's re-election campaign, they were unable at first to prove any direct involvement by the President or his senior staff to either the burglary or its subsequent cover-up.
		The Academy of Achievement's interview with Bob Woodward is combined with an interview with his longtime editor and mentor, Ben Bradlee.

	American Politics Journal — Bob Woodward, Revealed at Last!
		Woodward was on when he wrote what seemed to be an elevated look at George W. Bush and those who surround him.
		Woodward and Bernstein were, to be fair, sometimes wrong in their coverage of Nixon – but their uncanny ability to unravel the Nixon White House was due to the "oracle" Felt, not to their competence.
		Now Woodward has penned a third book on the White House, which appears to be an almost 180-degree reversal of attitude toward his "insiders" at 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue and, perhaps, a quick and desperately required self-correction for his prior two volumes – not to mention his editorial errors.

	Bob Woodward, Lost in Cronyism? \| TPMCafe
		This was the story that Washington Post reporter Bob Woodward first broke and that Tennessee Sen. Fred Thompson dug into before he was forced to end his hearings in December because of a one-year deadline that recalcitrant Democrats had demanded.
		Woodward's version of investigative reporting seems to be to call up his buddies and print what they tell him.
		This suggests that Woodward was a careerist and no crusading idealist, and that when Watergate presented itself he grabbed that horse and ran with it, calling on Felt when needed to keep that horse running.

	Bob Woodward's questionable timetable. - By Jack Shafer - Slate Magazine
		That Woodward learned Plame's name and employer—but not that she was covert—in mid-June 2003 changes the arc of the story by making Woodward one of the earliest, if not the earliest, recipients of a Bush administration tidbit about Plame, and by extension, about Joseph C. Wilson IV.
		The Post reports that Woodward's "confidentiality agreement" with the official who was his Plame source allowed him to talk to the prosecutor about their discussion, but not publicly reveal the source's identity or crucial details about his testimony.
		Woodward's lawyer, Robert Barnett, suggests that given Felt's wobbly mental state, he should also collect the signatures of Throat's doctor, Throat's lawyer, and a Throat family member to ensure a complete release.

	Woodward Was Told of Plame More Than Two Years Ago
		Washington Post Assistant Managing Editor Bob Woodward testified under oath Monday in the CIA leak case that a senior administration official told him about CIA operative Valerie Plame and her position at the agency nearly a month before her identity was disclosed.
		In a more than two-hour deposition, Woodward told Special Counsel Patrick J. Fitzgerald that the official casually told him in mid-June 2003 that Plame worked as a CIA analyst on weapons of mass destruction, and that he did not believe the information to be classified or sensitive, according to a statement Woodward released yesterday.
		Woodward said he also testified that he met with Libby on June 27, 2003, and discussed Iraq policy as part of his research for a book on President Bush's march to war.

		Woodward also describes how CIA director George Tenet prepared a paramilitary team to infiltrate Afghanistan to set the groundwork for invasion, and how this ushered in a new era of cooperation between the defense department and the CIA.
		Woodward does an excellent job of exposing the seat-of-their-pants planning sessions conducted at the highest levels of power and the hectic diplomacy practiced by Powell and Bush in trying to get the air war against Afghanistan off the ground.
