Scooped Again At The NYT - The 'Grey Lady' Is Gettin Smacked Around !!!

As usual, if you want the best information about what's going on in Novak-Plame-gate, the last place you should look is America's paper of record, the New York Times. The NYT's humiliation continues in this morning's papers, where the Washington Post has more information about what Karl Rove was asked about in the grand jury yesterday, and about the role of NYT reporter Judith Miller, than does the NYT itself.

In a potentially significant development, the WaPo reports that special prosecutor Patrick Fitzgerald has advised Miller that she will not be charged with any crime - if true, that eliminates the fantasies of those who thought Miller might herself be subject to a perjury or obstruction indictment, or even swept up in the Espionage Act for passing information she obtained from sources like Ahmed Chalabi to Karl Rove and/or Scooter Libby. The WaPo also says that Miller is cooperating with NYT reporters preparing a large story on Miller's and the NYT's role in the whole thing, contrary to some previous reports suggesting that Miller had refused to cooperate and might resign from the paper as early as Monday.

Not that they haven't deserved it lately.

I bet the WaPo could pick up some pretty decent reporters from the Times right about now.

1. Assuming it is Miller's lawyer that leaked to the WP that Miller

will not be charged with any crime and assuming it is true, that tells me she cooperated with the prosecution which should make sphincter muscles in more than a few of the bush cabal contract mightily.
