Times reporter defends herself in CIA probe case

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - New York Times reporter Judith Miller on Tuesday described her 85 days in jail as demeaning and lonely, and defended her decision not to take a year-old offer from her source to testify before a grand jury investigating the leak of a CIA operative's identity.

A lawyer for Miller's source, Vice President Dick Cheney's chief of staff, Lewis "Scooter" Libby, has asserted that Miller was given permission a year ago to tell prosecutor Patrick Fitzgerald about her conversations with Libby, and suggested Miller and her lawyers bear responsibility for her incarceration.

...

"I wasn't covering for anybody," she said. "Until I knew that that source genuinely wanted me to testify, and I heard that from him, I was willing to sit in jail."

...

"It was demeaning. It was degrading. It was very lonely," she said in an interview with CNN's Lou Dobbs Tonight.

2. What a sick thing this Miller is

This freak will stop at nothing for attention, huh? I'll bet she was writing her biography in jail.

3. Sounds like what they called 'featherbedding' in the bad old days !

Besides, Judy is probably an Operation Mockingbird media 'asset' anyway. Unless they investigate THAT and who she was taking orders from, the investigation is going to be sandbagged.

4. And all the little whos in whoville cried boo hoo, judy who

5. Miller is a liar. The key was the confined questioning agreement..

She didn't want to reveal her WH relationships.

7. Fishing Expedition

She said she didnt want to go on a fishing expedition with regard to the narrowing testimony. God this woman makes me sick, such a whore.

8. No one fishes in an empty lake.

9. Also apparently Fitz threatened to empanel a new grand jury which would

extend Miller's time in jail considerably.

The release to testify issue is bogus melodrama. Like those WMD's that weren't that Judy breathlessly purported to find in Iraq.
