Bob Woodward's public attitude towards the exposure of Valerie Plame & Brewster Jennings has been that this is just some unimportant nuisance, Fitzgerald is the "bad guy", and that the White House is well within their rights (no crime, no treason, no one to blame).

But now, that he has testified in Fitzgerald's investigation, it seems to me that Woodward may have volunteered to become a firewall to help protect Bush and his criminal Iraq War Group.
He has provided testimony that attempts to exhonerate I. Lewis Libby from any wrongdoing (being the first Bush official to disclose Plame's background). He also seems to be deflecting attention away from Rove, the White House, and the idea that the breech of security was anything important.
