Judy Miller: "I've Been Waiting For This War For 10 Yrs-Wouldn't Miss It!"

[kpete]

Judith Miller is exactly who you think she is
This is from the new book Hubris by Michael Isikoff and David Corn:

On the eve of war in Washington, journalists and others gathered at a cocktail party at the home of Philip Taubman, the Washington bureau chief of the New York Times…Judy Miller was one of several Times reporters there, and she seemed excited. Another journalist present asked if she was planning to head over to Iraq to cover the invasion. Miller, according to the other guest, could barely contain herself. “Are you kidding?” she asked. “I’ve been waiting for this war for ten years. I wouldn’t miss it for the world!”

Here’s what the U.S. government thought of her, according to Hubris:

Judy Miller “is probably the best ally we have out there in the media,” Colonel Richard McPhee, the commander of the 75th Exploitation Task Force told one of the unit’s public affairs officers, Sergeant Eugene Pomeroy, according to an email Pomeroy sent to a colleague.

Judith Miller was employed by the New York Times for twenty-eight years.

You deserve life in prison for the mayhem you have contributed to setting off.

3. I'll tell ya 'bout Machine Gun Kelly . . .

"I'll tell ya 'bout Machine Gun Kelly
He rode along the outlaw trail
Machine Gun Kelly was a simple man
But the woman was as hard as hell..."

--James Taylor, "Machine Gun Kelly," from MUDSLIDE SLIM AND THE BLUE HORIZON

Not a perfect context match, but Katherine Kelly somehow comes to mind when I think of Judith Miller and her STERLING work for that paper back east.
