Across the table at one of Washington’s classic power restaurants, my
source sat smiling. We hadn’t seen each other for more than six years.
After the usual opening small talk and pleasantries, I had just posed
the question I had come to dinner to ask.
“I’m curious. Why did you go cold on me all these years?” I inquired.
“You were too hot,” the source shot back wryly, playing off my own words. “Honestly, we were concerned that after your phone records and mail was seized that you were still being monitored.”
The source paused.
“It’s too bad. There were a lot of great stories I wanted to give you.”
