Reply #92: That's like resigning as a Yale alumnist. Not many do.

If you're suggesting that Woodward is still a spook, of course he is, in the sense that he still has contacts with ONI people, retired and active duty. He has the same sort of friends in multiple agencies around Washington, with whom he exchanges information on a regular basis. He is a well-connected Washington journalist and a major player in his on right. That's okay, provided he doesn't break any laws and doesn't mislead the public in the process. He may have done both.

I doubt that he's received a dime from the Navy Dept. after he resigned his commission.
