Reporter Judith Miller enters fifth week in jail

Associated Press Writer

ALEXANDRIA, Va. -- When August arrives in the nation's capital, Washingtonians stay inside to avoid the steamy heat. After almost a month in jail, New York Times reporter Judith Miller says she would like nothing better than to get outdoors.

"She joked that the swampy, humid air of Washington smelled as sweet as could be" on the couple of occasions she was allowed outside at the Alexandria Detention Center, said Times managing editor Jill Abramson, who visited Miller last week.

Miller was jailed July 6 for civil contempt for refusing to testify to the grand jury investigating the leak of the identity of an undercover CIA officer, Valerie Plame. Prosecutors want Miller to divulge to whom she spoke while doing reporting.

....

Zacarias Moussaoui, the only person convicted in connection with the Sept. 11 attacks, has been at the jail for more than three years. Six rooms are allotted to him and his voluminous court materials as he prepares for a sentencing trial next year.

1. Has Chalabi been allowed stateside?

For conjugal visits?

[despairing optimist]

32. No, but Judy has free use of a prosthetic lap for dictation sessions

Part of her PT hour in the yard.

[kerryin2004]

2. I hope she rots..

or gets a bad case of gout

[stopbush]

3. And it hasn't restored to life a single US soldier out of the 2000

killed, killed in great part to the lies she spewed that took us into an illegal war; it hasn't undone the maiming suffered by tens of thousands, nor has it resurrected the 25,000 Iraqis who have been murdered by bushco in their illegal little bloodfest.

I hope she rots in there.

[merh]

4. News - hundreds of thousands of people have spent more than

just 5 weeks in jail - have you done a story on them?

Idiots - she broke the law - this is not news, it is whining.

:argh:

[SemperEadem]

7. LOL! In light of the fact

that a man was just released from 19 yrs in prison after DNA cleared him of a rape he didn't commit.

When she's endured on that scale, then she can complain.

Guess she's used to peeing in the open by now.

[merh]

8. Just like this missing rich Alabama girl

It just depends on who you are and not what you experience that is worthy of the media's attention. :cry:

[MidwestTransplant]

13. Exactly and she is an accessory in the death of 10s of thousands.

[merh]

15. A war criminal that should face an international tribunal and that

should pray that the cell she faces is as nice as the one she now inhabits. :mad:

[wtbymark]

5. ROT!!!! you propogandist traitor! (nt)

[PurityOfEssence]

6. That is one scared woman

She can never testify, unless she perjures the snot out of herself. For her to say the truth would mark her as a dead woman from the bloodthirsty conquerers she's helped so much.

Doesn't she know how people who are inconvenient for the bushies wind up getting suicided?

[ZR2]

9. How was Vincent Foster

a threat to * ?

[eyepaddle]

10. Now THAT is funny

:eyes:

[PurityOfEssence]

34. How was Kurt Cobain?

How was Michael Hutchense?

Then again, there's Cliff Baxter...J.R. Hatfield...Peter Hartmann

If you want to intimate that Bill Clinton's dirty, you won't find much resistance from me; that he--or Hillary--had anything to do with Foster's death is another matter. Foster's family found this consistent with his deep disillusionment.

Regardless, pointing out that Clinton is no saint doesn't excuse Junior and his mob of the deep and vicious ugliness that is their stock-in-trade.

11. Judith who???

I vaguely remember something about someone being sent to jail. :popcorn: Oh well, we'll get back to her in a few months or years ... maybe. :boring: Good night Judith wherever you are.:sarcasm:

[okieinpain]

12. damn time flies

[wakeme2008]

14. After Susan McDougal's two years... cry me a river

and oh by the way, her husband enjoyed his six star Silverseas cruise while she was there.

[Love Bug]

16. Well, I'm verklempt

NOT!

:nopity:

[Gregorian]

17. I wonder how much they're paying her- $20 million?

Not bad for simply covering for the gang.

[Ganja Ninja]

19. That's if they don't decide to retire her early ...

with a 9mm slug to the back of the head.

[TankLV]

23. "self inflicted", of course.

[Chicago Democrat]

18. HA ha! Ha-ha-ha haha hahahahahahhahahahahahahahahA!

He laughed diabolically!

[gatorboy]

20. Her husband is so worried...He took a cruise!

http://www.nydailynews.com/news/gossip/story/331809p-283554c.html

In a frothy social column yesterday about a celeb-glutted Mediterranean cruise, featuring everyone from Isabella Rossellini to J.K. Rowling aboard the ocean liner Silver Shadow, the New York Sun's A.L. Gordon revealed:

"One passenger with his mind soberly on home is the literary icon Jason Epstein. ... Ms. Miller would have been on the cruise had she not gone to jail."


His wife's in the slammer and he cruises the Med?

Atta boy, hubby!

I wouldn't worry too much about her. She's going to get a nice sweet book deal out of this....I think she'd rather stay in the can a bit longer to add to the drama (And the book sales).

[davidinalameda]

21. I think that I'd be on that cruise too

JK Rowling's on there and I could have her autograph my 4 copies of HP

[KeepItReal]

36. Life goes on...like a muthaf*cka...for this dude

That's some real family values in action there...

:sarcasm:

[devinsgram]

22. I wonder if she has gotten any jailhouse tattoos yet?

[xxqqqzme]

24. 5 weeks?

boo-f*cking-hoo. Wonder if Martha gave her any tips?

[Straight Shooter]

25. At least she's alive, unlike almost 1800 dead soldiers. My song to her:

:nopity:

[goforit]

42. I want her to live a long life of misery which she has earned.

[goforit]

43. delete

[bspence]

26. Ha-ppy Ann-i- vers-ary, Ha-ppy Ann-i- vers-ary...

Ha-ppy Ann-i- vers-ary, Ha-ppy Ann-i- vers-ary!!!!!

ooone month in jaaaiill!!!

(as sung by the Flintstones)

[otohara]

27. At Least She Can't Spread Bush Propaganda

or out any more CIA agents! As Martha would say, it's a good thing!

[Pathwalker]

28. How does it feel to be Susan MacDougal, Judy?

I hope you hate it!

[IndianaGreen]

33. Susan was innocent, Judith is guilty!

And she is being treated like royalty, her visitors list is booked up through mid-September. Nothing like what happened to Susan MacDougal!

[Pathwalker]

35. I heard "poor Judy" has to sleep on the floor of the jail...

Susan was chained to a toilet in the L.A. County jail for MONTHS!
One thing I will ALWAYS hate the press for is the way they snickered at what Susan was forced to endure because she refused to LIE for Ken Starr. Well, now one of their own is in the same place Susan was, and I hope their mockery of Susan haunts them EVERY night. I hope they charge Judy with CRIMINAL contempt and they throw the book at her!

[VegasWolf]

29. Hope that they've lost the key! nt

[indypaul]

30. If she is looking for sympathy

it can be found in the dictionary somewhere
between shit and syphllis. That's what a
drill sergeant will tell you.

[against all enemies]

31. Usually I'm against whores serving time. Judy lies, 2000 die.

[depakid]

40. Try- Judy lies- 100,000+ people die.

As far as I'm concerned, the longer she's behind bars, the better. I just wish a few of the senior editiors at the NY Times could join her....

[against all enemies]

49. I stand corrected. I hope she knows how people hate her for

her lying ways.

[Canuckistanian]

37. How sad

:nopity: :nopity: :nopity: :nopity: :nopity: :nopity: :nopity: :nopity: :nopity: :nopity: :nopity: :nopity: :nopity: :nopity: :nopity: :nopity:

[hadrons]

38. soon, it will be 'Judith Miller enters fifth MONTH in jail', then

Judith Miller enters fifth year in jail ... :lol

[Piperay]

39. I hope she is suffering

through every second of it.

[NeoConsSuck]

41. Do the human race a favor..

and just hang yourself in prison. But before doing so, leave a letter of apology to the Iraqi's you helped murder.

[classysassy]

45. Judy the rethug's media slut.

yo shru8b pardon the lying bitch.

[Gyre]

44. Guaranteed she's in Ad Seg. (administrative segregation)

has all the books she can read and has never come in contact with a single real inmate there.

Gyre

[rocktivity]

46. This stopped being news five weeks ago.

And Ms. Miller can leave jail any time she likes--all she has to to is stop protecting the slimebag who attempted to make her an accessory to treason. She doesn't owe him or her squat.

:headbang:
rocknation

[Voltaire99]

47. Wolcott: NY Times staff leaking plenty of dirt on Miller

An interesting wrinkle--little more than such at present, but one never knows. Miller's hope that her little squat will rehabilitate her reputation may be in vain.

48. .

I'm glad she's in gen pop and not protective custody.

[leesa]

50. Good. Keep her there. She's a war criminal
