The conservatives have defeated America in another battle

[burythehatchet]

The New York Times, long a standard of journalistic integrity, notwithstanding Jayson Blair and other serious offenses, has been damaged, perhaps beyond repair.

Conservative ideology in Version 2005 is in a constant battle with the truth. When they are able to plant a person like Judy Miller in the midst of that once great instiution, provide her with unprecented power, and then allow her to bring whats left of that paper's integrity down with her, they have indeed won a big battle. In the process they also move a little closer to creating anenvironment where the public trusts noone.

1. I'm dying to know how her WMD stories will affect the

Plame investigation.

I heard that her "agreement" made it possible for those issues to not be a part of the grand jury investigation -- tho I must admit that I'm not certain that is true.

Obviously Miller was being fed that crap by someone at the White House.

2. Does anybody know the chronology of her employment?

Was she put in already turned? Or did they recruit her once she was there?
