"Times Reporter to Face Grand Jury Again

Wednesday October 12, 2005 10:31 AM


By PETE YOST

Associated Press Writer

WASHINGTON (AP) - New York Times reporter Judith Miller is giving prosecutors details of a previously undisclosed conversation she had with Vice President Dick Cheney's chief of staff, adding a new dimension to the criminal investigation into the leak of a covert CIA officer's identity.

Miller was to testify for a second time to a federal grand jury on Wednesday, a day after she turned over notes from her June 23, 2003, contact with I. Lewis ``Scooter'' Libby and underwent questioning by Special Counsel Patrick Fitzgerald.

The prosecutors have been examining the roles of Libby, presidential aide Karl Rove and others in the Bush administration in the leak to reporters of the identity of Wilson's wife, covert CIA officer Valerie Plame.

Before the June 23 Miller-Libby conversation, the Times and The Washington Post had both anonymously quoted Wilson questioning the Bush administration's handling of prewar intelligence on Iraq. On July 6, 2003, the Times published an op-ed piece by Wilson suggesting the Bush administration had twisted intelligence to exaggerate the threat from Iraq's nuclear weapons program. Eight days later, columnist Robert Novak exposed Plame's identity as a CIA officer, saying his information had come from two administration officials. "

2. And Your Bird Can Sing
by John Lennon

You tell me that you've got
everything you want
and your bird can sing
but you don't get me
you don't get me

You say you've seen seven wonders
and your bird is green
but you can't see me
you can't see me

When your prized possessions
start to weigh you down
look in my direction
I'll be round
I'll be round

When your bird is broken
will it weigh you down?
You may be awoken
I'll be round
I'll be round

Tell me that you've heard
ev'ry sound there is
and your bird can swing
but you can't hear me
you can't hear me.


Dedicated to Vice President Richard Agnew Cheney

12. "the infamous blue blood"
Yes, Dick "Dripping" Cheney has blood ... blue blood .... the blue blood that is most closely associated with Blue Meanies! And that is why it is so important that DUers sing Beatles' songs for the next 72 hours. Call your local radio station, and request "All You Need Is Love." (It is okay to request John's post-Beatles' "How Do You Slleep?")

As Timothy Leary once wrote, "The Beatles are Divine Messiahs. The wisest, holiest, most effective avatars (Divine Incarnate, God Agents) that the human race has yet produced ... I declare that John Lennon, George Harrison, Paul McCartney, and Ringo Starr are mutants. Prototypes of a new race of laughing freemen. Evolutionary agents sent by God, endowed with a mysterious power to create a new human species."

It is important that DUers laugh and sing and play Beatle music now, as never before. We must do this in order to counter the evil force of Dick Cheney & Co., who are in fact cartoon characters (Simon bar Sinister and his side-kick Cad from Underdog) that need to be expelled from the society proper.

7. OK, I'm going to go back to bed and start over
While I was reading this thread and before I rolled down and saw your post, I was singing that song in my head. Woo-oo. I guess old Beatle fans never die?

8. I've been singing it
for two days straight. My wife and kids don't believe me when I say that Lennon wrote it specifically about this case.

3. and a Merry Merry Fitzmas to you dbeach













It's beginning to look a lot like Fitzmas
Everywhere you go.
Who's gonna do five-or-ten?
We're thinking once again
Of handcuffs and of orange jumpsuits aglow.
It's beginning to look a lot like Fitzmas
Indictments on every score
But the prettiest sight to see
Is the scowl on Darth Cheney
At the slammer's front door.

A warrant or writ, a subpoena that fits
Is the wish of Barney and Ben;
The thought of Turdblossom hung up like a possum
Is the hope of Janice and Jen;
And Mom and Dad can hardly wait for court to start again.

It's beginning to look a lot like Fitzmas
Everywhere you go.
There's an defendant who doesn't want to tell;
One in the White House as well --
The felony kind that doesn't mind the law!
It's beginning to look a lot like Fitzmas
Soon the bells will start
And the thing that will make them ring
Is the indictment that we sing,
Right within our hearts!
