by: Ken Silverstein | publication date: June 25, 2007 | Publication: Harper's |

Excerpt:

". . .People should, of course, read the Kurtz column, read my piece, and come to their own conclusions, and as I have said before, those uncomfortable with my tactics are free to dismiss the story’s findings. Despite Kurtz’s concerns, most readers seem to understand why I went undercover. . ."

Description: Right after Ken Silverstein published "Their Men in Washington," Howard Kurtz wrote a response bashing Silversteins' use of undercover reporting to get the story.
