Woodward is not known for naming his sources.... good reporters protect their sources so they can maintain access.
you're making a silly argument here.
Good for him. However in the age of the internet, sources are important. Otherwise your word is worth nothing.
FWIW, I don't think Bob was "threatened" per say... I think "pressured" is a bit more accurate of a term...every administration tries to pressure and manipulate the press.
And I don't think he was pressured or threatened. Having now read the e-mails, I think he was told he'd be wrong on his opinion eventually. Hardly the kind of behaviour you'd call threatening or pressuring. The guy was told he was wrong and would be proven wrong. That's nothing out of the norm in Washington. Hardly the threat Woodward & right wing posters on this board made it out to be.
