Somebody's Leaking at the Washington Post
Someone within the Washington Post has leaked the contents of an internal message board with comments by the paper's reporters about Bob Woodward's revelation he was told about Valerie Plame Wilson by a Bush Administration official.
Within an hour of one of the postings, Jonathan Yardley's comments had been leaked to Katherine Seelye of the New York Times, who over his objection, has printed it.
That's one of the problems with internal message boards and list-servs. It's happened at almost all of the criminal defense boards I used to participate in - and one of the reasons I weaned myself off them. These types of forums are fairly hack-proof -- the only way the contents would get out is by someone with access cutting and pasting it into an another document and either faxing or e-mailing it.
I hope the Post discovers the leaker and fires his or her a**. [Via Atrios.]
