So What About That Anthrax Investigation?

As Glenn Greenwald, continues to document, ABC News is protecting someone who has lied repeatedly:

Whoever fed ABC News the false "bentonite" stories weren't "sources" in any meaningful sense; they used ABC to disseminate to the public highly significant, and very consequential, lies. What possible justification is there for ABC to continue to protect the identity of those who deliberately foisted on the public such a destructive fraud?

ABC News is allowing itself to be part of a lie, and helping to disseminate those lies to the American public.

Either they abetted the lies, or were being played as fools, and with the revelation that they were duped, is still protecting the person(s) who have perpetrated this lie on the American public.

The fact that ABC News is still protecting their "source", indicates, to me anyway, that someone at the company knew what was happening, and approved of it.
