Washington Post's Dana Priest, she knows something (Leakgate)

[Cush]

from today's chat (wish I had known about it)

http://discuss.washingtonpost.com/wp-srv/zforum/03/r_nation_loebpriest100803.htm

Hollywood, Fla.: Isn't almost more interesting that there's a White House mole who outed the outers? Who is this person -- what else does he/she know?

Dana Priest: My lips are sealed.

1. Dana's a female.

The cable news networks have had her on quite often lately.

[Cush]

2. thought it was a guy

my bad...

[nannygoat]

3. There is another Dana--Dana Milbank at the WaPo, too, I think

and he is a man!

[Cush]

4. ah, thats it....

thanks for clearing it up

[Cush]

5. Hmm, is more about to revealed?

Dana Priest: I'm so sorry that I couldn't answer more questions, there are so many---most about the leak investigation. One thing is certain, the story will have changed by next week--so "see" you then. Best, Dana

6. Wow

Sing, Dana, sing.

[TacticalPeek]

10. With her lips sealed, she can only hum.

:)

9. Sounds ominous, to me.

But my paranoia is acting up today.

Sinistrous

7. Hmm...wonder if she's been meeting someone in a DC parking garage?

A cigarette smoker, maybe.

?

11. write to Dana Priest

Encourage her to apply the highest standards of journalism. Show her appreciation for her courage in breaking the leak story.

12. Please let's keep this story front and center

The White House is "investigating itself" - essentially cleaning house of anything incriminating before turning anything over (and they have blatantly said they are doing this.) Once Ashcroft's stooge declares it over, the Republican Congress will stonewall any further investigation.

This story must not die.

13. Dana was VERY careful what she said on Sunday's MTP

I could tell she was carefully weighing her words. She definitely looked like she knew A LOT than what she could talk about.

I love what she says here about Deep Throat -

Cabin John, Md.: “Deep Throat” orchestrated an outing by saying, “follow the money.” What will your sources tell you to follow?

Dana Priest: I hold tight to that original instruction---it always gets you somewhere interesting.

[Woodstock]

14. I don't sense the Woodward-Bernstein hunger in her

Damn, I wish we could crack this one open.

[Cush]

16. well...

This is far more serious than Watergate, so I think that she and other reporters have to tread a little bit more carefully and wait for peopel to come to them.

15. Yeah she was amazing on MTP

looking over at Novakula as he winced in pain. It was amazing theater.
