The Toronto Star's Antonia Zerbisias posted extensively on the Bob Woodward/Plamegate story.

She interviewed him on Nov. 6 for a treeware column and in her blog post, includes some stuff that didn't make the cut into that item.

This column is timely, yet it's not, because the Village Voice's Sydney Schanberg missed the major development that Bob Woodward heard Valerie Plame's name from one of his inside sources by one day.
