Or are you, dare we say, making that up? Are professors of journalism allowed to do that? Where in the article you comment on does Gilligan present himself as a “hero of journalism”?

And just remind me again, Adrian, who it was that arranged for Kelly's name to be leaked to the press and for him to be hauled before the Foreign Affairs Committee? (Clue: it wasn't Gilligan.)
