Judith Miller

[LeftyElvis]

Anyone know why she is still is jail. I mean, we know who her leaker was; KKKarl Rove. What's the deal? Were there more leaks in the bush sinking ship?

1. No, we're not sure Rove was the leaker.

He permitted Cooper to tell his name. Miller's source is different, or, perhaps, she is the source.

I agree Millers source could be different OR

- The communication from Rove to her is more damning that that between Rove/Cooper


BUT - "she" cannot be "the source"..... she was never entitled to have the info, som whoever told her was her source ( possibly Libby if not Rove)

2. We know there was more than one

And there is an interesting quirk to treason and other laws; there have to be TWO witnesses.

Fitzgerald appears to be looking at a conspiracy, and as such needs all the witnesses he can get.

And besides, she deserves it for her Chalabi and DoD stenography pre-war. And after war too. That one where she reported a farmer was pointing to the ground and how that confirmed that there were WMD in Iraq was a real howler.

3. because she's protecting criminals

its just a coincidence that she's a warmongering, lying piece of shit that should rot in jail for decades.

kinda like getting Capone for tax fraud, really.

4. Hi LeftyElvis!!

Welcome to DU!! :toast:

[gratuitous]

5. She's still in jail because she's still contemptible

I mean, she's still in contempt of court for not complying with the judge's order that she name her source.

6. welcomne to du, LeftyElvis...

:hi: but then it's all = poor Judith, who knew 'journalists' were so principled :shrug:

[TreasonousBastard]

7. We'll find out...

eventually. I hope, anyway. Right now it's all guesswork.

This investigation is the tightest one in memory-- absolutely no leaks or hints at what's going on from the investigators. A lot different from Starr and his PR department.
