Krucing Off: Less Reputable Papers Weigh In
Leave it to the nutjobs at the Washington Times to put this whole business into perspective:
"Time magazine has already come out to say their sources are still talking to them," Mr. Jones said yesterday. "We should watch whether the Plame case inspires prosecutors to start going after reporters in a wholesale way. We may also see more conditional anonymity now where journalists tell sources 'I'll protect you if I don't go to jail.'?"
There has been some source-related fallout this week, however. Andrew Krucoff, a Conde Nast researcher, was fired Tuesday for leaking an internal staff memo to Gawker, a Manhattan news and gossip Web log. He was escorted from the building.
Valerie Plame to Andrew Krucoff in 500 words. Now that's how you pad a story.
