For the first time ever, I will cite a Newsmax story. But this is a good one.
Carville, whose wife Mary Matalin was been caught up in the Plamegate investigation, believes Fitzgerald isn't going to be satisfied with Judith Miller's intransigence, and is going to attack the NYT establishment with a rusty serrated crowbar:
Former Clinton attack dog James Carville predicted Monday that Leakgate Special Prosecutor Patrick Fitzgerald will be "coming after more people at the New York Times" - in addition to Times reporter Judy Miller, who is in her sixth week behind bars for refusing to divulge her sources.
Calling Fitzgerald "relentless," the Clintonista-turned-CNN commentator told radio host Don Imus: "My sense is he's coming after more people at the New York Times. He's going subpoena Bill Keller and all of them and ask them what Judy Miller told them. And if they don't talk, he's going to stick them in jail."

"There are all sorts of rumors and I hear second hand that [Miller] was screaming out in the news room about this."
The Times, said Carville, "to some extent is going to have to come clean. Because they're going to have to tell us what Judy Miller knew, when she knew it and who she told."
Good. If the Times is willing to sanctimoniously hide behind a non-existent journalist privilege to flout justice and the rule of law, then the appropriate test of their so-called principles is whether they can hold up under a lengthy prison sentence.
I'm all for Congress enacting a legally valid journalist privilege. I am not for journalists sanctimoniously flouting the law, as if they think're Martin Luther King or Rosa Parks, in the absence of such a privilege.
