Fans of Judith Miller...
Send her an e-mail at her website; I did. Is protecting a whistleblower the same as covering up for a crime that may have had implications for our national security? I didn't think so myself. I refrained from offering cell-decorating hints.

and as a part-time journalist myself, i hate the thought of people extrapolating some limitations on the first amendment rights of a free press from this example of greedy, power-hungry ass-kissing press prostration.

4. I just sent an uncharacteristically nasty email
I'm sorry but I hope she serves time just for her lack of reporting before this fucking war.

6. Thanks for the link.
This is what I sent her.

"I think you should reveal the name of the person who leaked Valerie Plame's name to you. The person you are protecting was not a whistleblower on governmental wrongdoing unless you regard all covert CIA agents who work on protecting us from WMDs as wrongdoers. Do you? If so, I think you are very, very wrong.

The person who revealed Valerie Plame's name was himself a wrongdoer, going after Valerie Plame as a way to punish her husband, Ambassador Wilson, for telling the truth about one of Bush's WMD claims.

Please Judith, do the right thing and be a whistleblower on governmental wrongdoing yourself, and reveal the name of the person who did this.

And ask yourself this; would he go to jail to protect you, as you're about to go to jail to protect him?

Sincerely,"

I think everyone should email her and ask her to reveal her source.

Frankly, I think she should be doing jail time just for the crap she wrote about WMDs in the NYT, but that's a separate issue.

7. Let's Not Forget
her part in alerting the so called Islamic "charity" that the FBI was on the way. That should extend her sentence beyond 18 mo. It's a beautiful day in the neighborhood.
