IN RUN-UP TO WAR, BUSH CONSIDERED BOMBING NPR
British PM Blair Talked Him Down, New Report Says
Mr. Bush was eventually talked out of bombing The Washington Post when
a top aide reminded him, "If we take out the Post, we won't have any
way to leak things to Bob Woodward."
Not to worry -- Woodward works at home. NB Howard Kurtz in the Washington
Post: "Most reporters ... publish or broadcast most of their stories as
events unfold. Under Woodward's unusual relationship with The Post, he stays
on the payroll while mainly writing books from his Georgetown home, with the
paper carrying excerpts -- and providing a publicity boost -- upon
publication. This has sparked some resentment among the staff."
