Here is what The Daily Caller has to say:

"Bob Woodward trolled us (and we got played)"

Here is Erick Erickson, the main guy at Red State:

Ok wow. Finally read the email to Woodward. I must now move to the "not a threat" camp.

At this point, you are like one of the Japanese soldiers in the Pacific who didn't know the war had ended and were still fighting it years later.

Ron Fournier, who parrots GOP talking points, ha!

Lanny Davis too, huh? Damn right-wingers, with different opinions and all. You'd think they had no tolerance for other's viewpoints....oh......wait.......

Ah, yes, notable liberal hero Lanny Davis. I'm on the cusp of being convinced. Maybe if noted liberal hero Dick Morris were to come forward.

The 'everyone must by lying so Obama's nose is clean' defense again. Getting used to seeing that one.

What? The house right-winger who has been wrong about just about everything is wrong again? Woodward himself says it wasn't a threat.

Exactly what I thought you'd do. Ignore the fact that this was done at least twice before and focus on the writer.

You lefties are so obvious

I'm quite sure Woodward is backing down out of fear. That's what happens when thugs behave like thugs...

Yeah, right. He didn't back down when he was up against Nixon, with the fate of the White House on the line. But a sharply worded email causes him to fold.

Your honest to God opinion is that Woodward is backing down out of fear? You are that poster that keeps trolling me into believing his made up right-wing rants aren't you? But, this time you've gone too far to be believable.

Of course Woodward welcomes the heat. The tale of this controversy will probably be his next book, and all this is advance publicity.

Maybe the title of his next book will be, "All The President's Thugs"

Or perhaps the title of his next book will be: "How I became Enraged When I Was No Longer Granted Unfettered Access to Powerful People and How I Whined Like The Entitled Ingrate Ass That I am."

Most of America is exasperated by Capital Hill's inability to pass a budget, but check out this example of the cluster fuck that is the media at work in Washington:

On November 14, 2005, Woodward gave a two-hour deposition to Special Counsel Patrick Fitzgerald. He testified that a senior administration official told him in June 2003 that Iraq war critic Joe Wilson’s wife (later identified as Valerie Plame), worked for the CIA. Woodward appears to have been the first reporter to learn about her employment (albeit not her name) from a government source. The deposition was reported in The Washington Post on November 16, 2005, and was the first time Woodward revealed publicly that he had any special knowledge about the case. Woodward testified the information was given to him in a “casual” and “offhand” manner, and said that he does not believe it was part of any coordinated effort to “out” Plame as a CIA employee.[14] Later, Woodward's source identified himself. It was Richard Armitage, Colin Powell's deputy and an internal critic of the Iraq War and the White House inner circle.
Woodward said the revelation came at the end of a long, confidential background interview for his 2004 book Plan of Attack. He did not reveal the official’s disclosure at the time because it did not strike him as important. Later, he kept it to himself because it came as part of a confidential conversation with a source.
In his deposition, Woodward also said that he had conversations with Scooter Libby after the June 2003 conversation with his confidential administration source, and testified that it is possible that he might have asked Libby further questions about Joe Wilson’s wife before her employment at the CIA and her identity were publicly known.
Woodward apologized to Leonard Downie Jr., editor of The Washington Post, for not informing him earlier of the June 2003 conversation. Downie accepted the apology and said even had the paper known it would not have changed its reporting.
New York University professor Jay Rosen severely criticized Woodward for allegedly being co-opted by the Bush White House and also for not telling the truth about his role in the Plame affair, writing: "Not only is Woodward not in the hunt, but he is slowly turning into the hunted. Part of what remains to be uncovered is how Woodward was played by the Bush team, and what they thought they were doing by leaking to him, as well as what he did with the dubious information he got."[15]
[edit]

Bob Woodward, "journalist". Doubt Edward Murrow would call him that.

Now Woodward says he didn't consider "regret" to have been a threat:

"I never characterized it as a 'threat,'"he said. "I think that was Politico's word."
