Today's NYT says, "This was a call," he [her attorney] said, "that lasted about 15 minutes, and Judy could measure the timbre and tone of the source's response and real feelings regarding whether or not he was being coerced and whether or not he really wanted her to testify."
Not that is bizarre stuff. Judith Miller the human lie detector? She could tell from the "timbre and tone" whether or not he was coerced? Not only that but she is so good at doing it that she spent 12 weeks in the slammer. Wowsers!
She needs to go to work for the Department of Justice or maybe Court TV : talk w. OJ, talk with Van der Sloot (or however his name is spelled). We could have saved a few hundred billion if only she had been allowed to talk with Sadaam. Talk with Frist, DeLay, Clinton - the mind boggles! Joe Biden could have let her question Roberts to find out what he really thinks. Maybe we can find out what really happened at Chappaquiddick. What about Dan Rather and Bush's TANG docs? Is Iran pursuing the bomb? How many does N. Korea have?
I suppose the real issue was that the prosecutor agreed to restrict his questioning to Libby. I guess that makes sense. He gets something rather that nothing and she looks like a the Joan of Arc of the 1st Amendment. Boring. No TV show there.
So who else do you want her to grill?
