Carrie Gracie talks to one of the world's leading journalists - Bob Woodward. In 1972 he set out with his colleague Carl Bernstein to investigate what would become known as the Watergate scandal, which led to President Richard Nixon's resignation from office. Since then he has chronicled the presidencies of George Bush Sr, Bill Clinton and, most recently, George W Bush, with extraordinary inside accounts of daily decision-making. He describes his mission to uncover the truth and why he thinks he failed in the run up to the US-led invasion of Iraq by not questioning sufficiently the evidence of weapons of mass destruction.
