Journal eglamkowski's Journal: Judith Miller 11

Journal by eglamkowski

Finally released from jail. Apparently she's going to sing after all. It's all over the news so I'm not going to bother with a link.

No matter what source you refer to these days, roughly half the people will hate your source, accusing it of bias and rejecting it as valid. Go find your own so you can't complain :-p

      Probably right after the Cindy Sheehan biopic.

  • I'm sure someone will piss and moan, but I try to find links to an AP or Reuters story with little or no embellishment by the paper running the feed.

    Unless I'm trolling.
    • Least [google.com] I could do. Pick the news source of your choice.

      Or if you are a purist, here is a link [ap.org] that I got from going to www.ap.org. They redirect to local/regional AP affiliates - but it is the raw AP story, with AP writer by-line.

      Or, you may be in a Reuters [reuters.com] mood.

      Unlesss you're trolling, of course. :-)

  • I must have missed it when the story originally came around, but I have heard that Bush ordered all of his staff to release their contacts from any confidentiality agreements, and Miller just chose to stay mum until she was certain her source was releasing her because it's what s/he wanted and not something they were coerced into doing.

    Is this accurate?
    • I have no idea what's been going on with Miller. That's why I'm pointing it out - it's all been rather mysterious, from beginning to end. Hopefully things will be cleared up in the next few weeks.

      Not every day these days you see a journalist go to jail.

      I'm surprised more people didn't go ballistic over the jailing. So many people seem to confuse "freedom of the press" with "freedom to do/say/report whatever the hell the journalists want without regard to the law".
  • I'm curious as to why Libby let her stew for three months before permitting her to testify. Did they work out a deal so she could keep some things private or something?

      Apparently not: that's the weird thing. From the AP [ap.org] report: "Libby's attorney, Joseph Tate, says he and his client released Miller to testify more than a year ago. Tate said he was surprised when her attorneys again asked for a release in the last few weeks."

      It seems she was the holdout, not Libby - which seems odd. Then again, her whole

      • A bizzare situation all-round, then. WTF?

          My best guess is attention seeking on her part - before this, who had actually hear of her? Now, she's made herself literally front-page news, just by keeping her mouth shut for a while and spending a few weeks in Club Fed. Career-wise, this doesn't look at all bad for her.
