Woodward to Larry King "Reporter's Juices" were running

[kpete]

Woodward - "it seemed to me there was no underlying crime."

I am trying to figure out what goes on in a secretive WH.

Post Ombudsmen - deeply serious sin for Woodward not to tell his boss.

Woodward: "I was focused on my book.
I decided the week of the indictment to talk to my editor. I learned another piece of the puzzle and I talked to Downie.

The day of the indictment, Fitz said Libby was the first reporter to reveal Plame's identity in June. I knew that was wrong, so I called my source. Because I knew I had learned one week to 10 days before Libby.

I went into aggressive reporting mode. I called the source and we talked about that fact.

The source said "I have to go to the prosecutor. I have to tell the truth." Do not tell anyone who I am.

The public wants to know whats the real story. I have spent my life trying to get whats at the bottom of the barrel. To do that you have to establish relationships of trust.

King: in that situation you can be used?

Woodward: No. All the materials for my books can be tested with my method.

King: Bush is not going to come out terrible, because you want him for your next book.

4. "Aggressive reporting mode." Give it a break Woodward.

I am not exactly sure of what is going on, but aggressive reporting it ain't.

and thanked the reporter, before going back to work, at whatever vocation he might truly have the right to claim.
