That's difficult, without anonymous sources we would not have a fraction of the information we have. At some point shouldn't a particular publication's reputation allow a reader to rely on its vetting? Or an individual reporter - If Bob Woodard says he spoke with someone who did not want to reveal their identity, should we not listen to what he says?

Its been a fascinating couple years for a news reader. There has been fantastic investigative reporting, yesterday's Pulitzers are good examples. Julie Brown's work at the Miami Herald is a great example as well.

What I am not sure about is stuff like the famous NYT anonymous op-ed. Do you have thoughts on that?
