NEW YORK Appearing on NPR's "Morning Edition" Friday, former New York Times reporter Judith Miller got into a couple of heated exchanges with interviewer Renee Montagne, mainly over Scooter Libby's request that he be identified as a "former Hill staffer" rather than as an administration official.

Miller denied it, making the distinction that "I agreed to listen to the information in that way, and that's all," and might have asked him to change his ID later. She said this was "very common in Washington."

Clearly surprised, the interviewer asked if she does this frequently. Miller then replied, "No, I did not say I do it. I said it is often done in Washington, especially in the National Security area."

1. She has a real problem with integrity and honesty.

I don't think that she even has the capacity to understand how her "fluid" treatment of ethics and honesty have damaged, journalism in general, and the NYT in particular.

Self-absorbed is how I have heard her described - and boy, that NPR interview just proved it.

2. I will be so glad when this fake journalist is no longer news.

She enjoys the limelight SO disgustingly...

3. Well, in for an inch in for a mile. What should we expect from her?

A credible self-interrogation? Hardly.

4. Miller seems to have a real problem telling the truth.....

the way she dodges around questions and gives non-answers makes her a perfect candidate for political office.
