Did anyone notice how Ms. K's review of the new Wooodward book on Deep Throat was actually a trumpet call on behalf of Judy Miller?  Am I the only one who thinks that the long term damage to the Grey Lady from going to the brink with Judy Miller will be far, far worse than anything Jayson Blair could have done? 

 Also, has any serious journalism professor done a quantitative study on the value of anonymous sources.  I have this unproven hunch that Deep Throat is the blanket covering a lot of media manipulation and hackery, and Judy Miller's execrable record along with the ludicrous anonymous sourcing about the upcoming SCOTUS nomination today only serves to confirm that for me.
