Miller/Fitzgerald previous connection regarding the Islamic Foundation:

The legal fight over the CIA leak case isn't the only time Miller and Fitzgerald have been at odds.

In fall 2001, Miller and Times Washington correspondent Philip Shenon were reporting on Islamic charities suspected of funnelling money to al Qaeda.

At that time, Fitzgerald was leading the prosecution as the newly named U.S. attorney in Chicago. He and the Justice Department argued that Miller's calls while working the story tipped off a foundation to an impending raid -- a charge the Times rejects.

In June 2002, Miller wrote about an Egyptian-American pilot who had been a crucial informant against al-Qaeda in the bombings of U.S. embassies in Africa. The pilot said the American government failed to live up to promises to compensate him and to protect him from severe reprisals in Egypt.

and interpreted it as a smear against Fitzgerald. I felt the story was a further indication of how involved Judith Miller is in pushing the Neocon agenda. Is this the smear you are referring to?
