Speaking of Howard Kurtz, his column today
confirms what Mark Corallo laid
out here last Tuesday — Dana Priest could find herself in
legal hot water for her reporting on the CIA’s “black sites.”
Typically, Kurtz, Priest & Co. try to ignore the gravamen of
the matter by playing up criticism from the left for the
Post’s not having revealed more in its report. Evidently
the paper thinks it deserves a Pulitzer for not revealing the names
of the countries hosting the alleged sites — information that
became easily obtainable once Priest provided all the necessary
clues.
