4. Leopold's a better reporter than Judy Miller and the rest of Corporate McPravda.

The guy was fed some wrong info regarding Rove's impending indictment.
That doesn't mean all of Leopold's good work is down the drain.

I also think he was intentionally fed bad info to cast doubts on his credibility.
