First Judith Miller and now Bob Woodward.

His ability to keep secrets has served Woodward well in the past, but in the Plame case he's had to apologize for not letting his editor and readers know sooner, what he knew. The response has been harsh.

"It just looks really bad," said Eric Boehlert, a Rolling Stone contributing editor and author of a forthcoming book on the administration and the press. "It looks like what people have been saying about Bob Woodward for the past five years, that he's become a stenographer for the Bush White House."

Ouch. And that's from a story in his own paper.
