Quote o’ the day
From Judy Miller’s Sunday editorial in the NYTimes:
“It came in August 2003, shortly after I attended a conference on national security issues held in Aspen, Colo. After the conference, I traveled to Jackson Hole, Wyo. At a rodeo one afternoon, a man in jeans, a cowboy hat and sunglasses approached me. He asked me how the Aspen conference had gone. I had no idea who he was.
“‘Judy,’ he said. ‘It’s Scooter Libby.’

In related news, it seems as though the journalism community is turning on Judy Miller. Via AP:
NEW YORK — With a ferociousness usually reserved for presidents caught lying to the public, the journalism world has turned on The New York Times and its reporter Judith Miller, who only weeks ago was being lauded for going to jail to protect a source.
A few media critics and academics suggested Monday that the Pulitzer Prize-winning reporter should be fired for her actions covering the search for weapons of mass destruction in Iraq. Miller also was blasted for failing to explain how she learned the identity of the CIA agent wife of a Bush administration critic.
“It’s not enough that Judith Miller, we learned Saturday, is taking some time off and `hopes’ to return to the New York Times newsroom,” Greg Mitchell, the editor of the journalism trade publication Editor & Publisher, wrote in an online column. “She should be promptly dismissed for crimes against journalism, and her own newspaper.”
Once described as a brave hero, it now seems as though Miller is wearing journalism’s scarlet letter.

So, the other members of the press are out for Miller’s blood over Iraq and WMD?
Let me see, she obviously did her reporting based on information that came from the government, from intelligence agencies, that turned out (as time has shown) to be inaccurate.
So, doing a story on Bush’s Natl. Guard days based on forgeries is OK and earns you respect in the MSMs eyes, because that was “fake but accurate”
but doing a legitimate story based on things that were “authentic, but inaccurate” earns you scorn?
Uh huh!
She didn’t deliver the correct goods, so she’s expendable.
Arizonateach is right on!! She did not come out of jail and immediately implicate the evil genius, Karl Rove. She is a disgrace to the NYT.
- Has there ever been a dead horse (in this case one completely fabricated by the hopeful “get Rove” left crowd) beat more into the ground than this faux non-story? Its obvious now that the whole first ammendment spectical was done for the sole purpose of hyping the whole lying process, to make maximum impact when and if their witch hunt came up with anything…..
- We await with bated breath for the NYT to openly accuse Rove and His deputy of actually knowing the CIA exists, and worse mentioning it in public….
- What a bunch of pavaracting partisan boneheads. With enemies like this Rove has nothing to worry about…
