They are after her for supporting the WMD in Iraq.
"Shortwave Sportfishing" wrote in message ... likes it under the bus? Snippet of Bill Keller's Email memo: "I wish that when I learned Judy Miller had been subpoenaed as a witness in the leak investigation, I had sat her down for a thorough debriefing, and followed up with some reporting of my own. It is a natural and proper instinct to defend reporters when the government seeks to interfere in our work. And under other circumstances it might have been fine to entrust the details _ the substance of the confidential interviews, the notes _ to lawyers who would be handling the case. But in this case I missed what should have been significant alarm bells. Until Fitzgerald came after her, I didn't know that Judy had been one of the reporters on the receiving end of the anti-Wilson whisper campaign. I should have wondered why I was learning this from the special counsel, a year after the fact. (In November of 2003 Phil Taubman tried to ascertain whether any of our correspondents had been offered similar leaks. As we reported last Sunday, Judy seems to have misled Phil Taubman about the extent of her involvement.) This alone should have been enough to make me probe deeper." From The Washington Post: http://tinyurl.com/9v5h3 I fully expect Our Lady of Op/Ed Virginity Maureen Dowd to be driving the bus and Frank Rich to be selling tickets for the ride. Side note: Makes the "Old Gray Lady" and "Newspaper of Record" a little suspect eh, what? |
