As I take the time to admire New York Times reporter Judith Miller's courage in going to jail to protect her integrity, I have some big qualms about protecting the anti-whistle-blower she won't identify.

Whistle-blowers need constitutional protection, from both the law and, it seems, other whistle-blowers. CIA agent Valerie Plame's name was leaked to punish her husband, whistle-blower Joseph Wilson. I find this every bit as chilling a threat to freedom of the press as the jailing of Miller.

Re "The Judy Miller Media Hug-Fest," Commentary, July 6: Miller should not be sent to prison for refusing to reveal her sources.

She should be sent to prison for faithfully passing on the Bush administration's propaganda during the lead-up to the Iraq war. That was criminal.

2. I wonder how far into the public the facts of this case have penetrated

These two seem to understand the case in the way that many of us do. It was good to see these :)
