...Bob Woodward became a legend at the Washington Post writing about what happens behind closed doors in the corridors of power. But last week the news was all about what happens behind closed doors at the Post. And rather than bringing clarity to the murky case of Who Leaked What to Whom about CIA operative Valerie Plame, the revelations about Woodward's role only added more complexity to both the case and the deepening debate over the rules star journalists get to play...
...reporters keep scrambling to find out who told Bob Woodward about Joe Wilson?s wife, Woodward himself has told TIME about a related mystery: what made the source finally come forward. When the Washington Post reporter went public with his involvement in the CIA leak case earlier this week, he failed to explain why his source waited silently for two years before coming clean to special prosecutor Patrick Fitzgerald.

He gives a guide a copy of George Orwell's 1984, and he introduces a translator and a technician to Bob Marley ("Get up, stand up; Stand up for your rights!"). He has a beguilingly playful quality as an author, too. At the International Friendship Exhibition, he's shown thousands of foreign gifts to North Korea's founder, the late Kim Il Sung, all housed underground to withstand nuclear attack. Delisle sketches a few scenes that highlight the absurdity of a friendship exhibition in an atomic bunker, but stops short...
