Judith Miller watched the interrogation of an American by Israeli soldiers?

N.Y. Times reporter could testify for suspect

Bridgeview used car salesman Muhammad Salah recalls being beaten, housed in a "refrigerator cell" and threatened with rape by Israeli soldiers until he admitted to bankrolling overseas terrorists, according to a new filing in U.S. District Court.

In an odd twist, the interrogation was witnessed by embattled New York Times reporter Judith Miller, and defense attorneys suggested Monday the best way for the U.S. government to prove its case -- and prove Salah wasn't abused -- is to call the controversial journalist to the witness stand.

"We think the government is going to call her," said Chicago defense attorney Michael E. Deutsch.

A message left for Miller -- author of the book God Has Ninety-Nine Names: Reporting From a Militant Middle East -- at the New York Times on Monday was not returned. A spokesman for U.S. Attorney Patrick Fitzgerald, who subpoenaed Miller to testify in the leak of a CIA agent's name and whose office is prosecuting Salah, declined to comment on whether Miller might be called to testify in the case.

In the filing Monday, Salah wants to keep any alleged confessions from being aired at trial, arguing he was coerced into implicating himself at the hands of Israeli soldiers who beat him and threatened to kill him and his family.

You are very welcome.

10. I think there may be a 'follow the money' issue here. Does she get paid

by Israel or does she just do it for ideology?

14. My head is spinning.

The utter contempt I feel for these people is beyond words.

16. The writers at antiwar.com think the Plame story is related to the AIPAC

...spy scandal. www.antiwar.com

17. Thanks for that heads up

I have had my suspicions since Franklin was nabbed & AIPAC implicated. AIPAC has wielded far too big of a stick in US politics for way too long, IMO.
