There's the difference between Joe-blogger and someone who's an actual journalist. Granted, I don't know that "writes a column for the Washington Post" is exactly hard-hitting journalism, but I find it interesting that he did not turn over any information on his source whereas the guy who was just a blogger complied.

The Post journalist presumably took some journalism courses, where they probably teach you to not talk to the police in these circumstances. The blogger probably had none of those, and just wanted to take care of his kids that night.
