Observer now hears a new angle on the story is circulating inside the Justice Department.

It involves Judith Miller, the veteran New York Times reporter currently languishing in a Virginia jail for refusing to reveal her source(s) in the Plame affair.

4. At some point the truth will come out?
What if Judith Miller is also covert CIA?

IMHO,
I think her source is Bolton. She fears for her life if she were to divulge her source.

6. Pure conjecture ...

But certainly no worse that 95% of the content of Faux News.

7. this is total crap. She won't testify because Plame isn't the issue
Fitzgerald isn't just investigating this leak, he's going after the wider problem: systemic propagandizing from the the administration to scare the pants (Max Cleland's line) off the American people

She was, because of her slavish devotion to Israel, a tool of propaganda. She lied. She lied and distorted repeatedly. She did this at the behest of the PNAC and the administration. As an egocentric Pulitzer Prize winner, she can't admit that she's nothing more than a shill. Worse, were she to ever be questioned, she would be a dead woman. Not only would she show herself as a liar against the soul of journalism, she would expose the treasonous manipulation of the PNAC, and for the latter, she'd be killed.

Her only hope is to feign martyrdom as a hero of free speech and hope that the bully boys can force this to all go away. If not, she'll be killed.
