If the number two person at the FBI reached out TODAY to someone at a major newspaper or network, I think his/her information would also be taken seriously. Perhaps the info would be treated more gingerly. Perhaps news managers would want to know much more about who it was than Ben Bradlee did in the beginning. But if someone at that level volunteers info on a confidential basis, no matter what the motivation, it has to be handled with common sense and the instincts of seasoned professionals and managers interested in more than good promos. |

You can lay out this scenario or that, but if all the good journalism and outstanding sources amount to no real accountability for what the government??s doing, then the point becomes??what?
