Washington Post Ombudsman, part II: Froomkin Departs, Leaving Angry Loyalists And Questions (“Institutionally, The Post is now responding by circling the wagons … when I was able to start querying editors yesterday, a wall of silence was erected.”)

And don't miss the readers' comments….

Other voices:

• Brad DeLong, Washington Post Andy Alexander Says that It Is Dan Froomkin's Fault that Fred Hiatt and Company Fired Him
• Chris Weigant, HuffPo, Friday Talking Points [83] — Dan Froomkin's Final WashingtonPost.com Column
• Marcy Wheeler, Firedoglake, The WaPo’s Omerta on Froomkin
• Matthew Yglesias, Think Progress, Will The Washington Post Survive?
• Bob Somerby, The Daily Howler (scroll down)
• Kevin Jon Heller, Opinio Juris, Froomkin, Lord Carlile, and US Political Journalism

But I'm not supposed to say anything.

My brother has posted his final column at the Washington Post, White House Watched.

I'll post information about his next gig when it's official, probably no sooner than it appears at whitehousewatch.com. Meanwhile, there's always the archive.

Dan is slated to speak next week at the Personal Democracy Conference in NY — a fun event that I probably would have gone to but for this vacation thing.

This Glenn Grenwald interview with Jay Rosen is quite amazing..

Also piles of links chez DeLong.

Me? Still staying muzzled.

If you're coming here to read about that, see Glenn Greenwald, Wonkette, or Andrew Sullivan.

Update (6/19): Dan's comments and the Post Ombudman's account.
