Mary Mapes burst my bubble last night on Larry King Live.
KING: Did you question the motivation of your contacts?
MAPES: You always do that but, you know what, Mother Teresa doesn’t
hand you documents in the night, you know. Saints are not
whistleblowers. Whistleblowers have motivations.I knew that
Bill Burkett didn’t like George Bush and I knew that, you know, at that
time about half the country didn’t and I guess that’s about still true
today but you don’t always — people have to have motivations to give
you things or do things. You accept that I mean.
