I remember reading that at...Yes, she certainly did. I remember reading that at the time it was posted last fall. <BR/><BR/>What I'm not grasping quite so quickly is a vague recollection that speculation that Hadley may have been one of the sources being discussed on The Washington Note prior to Larisa's report. I couldn't tell you if it came from the comments or if Steve floated his name in discussions about who likely had access to the information and so COULD have been a source. <BR/><BR/>Not the same thing at all as Larisa's and Jason's report.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5194776.post-1156763753054323052006-08-28T21:15:00.000+10:002006-08-28T21:15:00.000+10:00larisa broke the hadley / woodward story - and has...larisa broke the hadley / woodward story - and hasnt backed off the claim AFAIKlukeryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13280906371216516750noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5194776.post-1156759323320650252006-08-28T20:02:00.000+10:002006-08-28T20:02:00.000+10:00Perhaps he was.
