you know things are bad when you start to make judith miller seem objective

jane at firedoglake (who for some reason refuses to answer our emails these days...what the hell did we do? we told her kobe is cute) quotes editor&publisher who quotes washpost ombudswoman deborah howell:

"i am getting a lot of reaction and, from readers, it is all bad," howell told e&p today, referring to the fallout from woodward's disclosure that he spoke to a confidential white house source about plame in 2003. "we are being barraged with calls. they think it was wrong for him not to tell his editors and wrong for the post not to tell readers."

gee, d'ya think?

also, tho this is a bit far afield, don't you think the washpost could find a better publisher to be directing a major news organization, than confessed addict leonard downie, jr.?
