Miller to Testify on Friday

Just learned from the on-line edition of the Washington Post that Judith Miller was released from jail today in exchange for agreeing to testify before the grand jury tomorrow. Apparently, she called Libby and was able to confirm the he was releasing her from her pledge of confidentiality.

Amazingly, Libby's lawyers claim they are shocked, shocked, that their client's failure to provide a waiver of confidentiality had anything to do with Miller refusing to testify for three months, stating innocently "We are surprised to learn we had anything to do with her incarceration." I guess they don't read the conyersblog, because on August 8 I wrote to Mr. Libby pleading for such a waiver.

Anyway, here is to hoping that the testimony breaks Plame-gate wide open. Maybe this is part of the House and Senate GOP strategy of taking the heat off of Frist and Delay by changing the subject from insider trading and money laundering to treason?

Also, Bush just signed something that makes information about presidential pardons secret. Certainly creates the impression he plans on making pardons he wants to have secret. He'll no doubt do what his father did and pardon people before they could ever be tried. Wonder if he'd do that for DeLay or Frist if it came to that?
