  •  Totally in character for Miller, (none / 0)

    from what I've read.  

    This goes to (what I think is) the basic issue of the Miller case: she stands in direct contravention to the basic principles that justified any form of journalistic privilege, which is the free flow of information to the public, particularly when those in power are attempting cover-ups.

    Miller has no principle; Miller's not in jail because of any pressing respect for the first amendment.  

    Recommended.

    •  Thanks! (none / 1)

      So the real question - purely speculative at this point - is Who is she trying to protect?

      My guess is that it's the person she cares most about in the world - Judith Miller.  I think she's in on the whole thing.  I think that revealing her notes would mean revealing her complicity in far more than just the Plame outing, but in the entire Iraq debacle itself.
