Question about Judith Miller Questioning:
Edited on Wed Jan-31-07 11:21 AM by mod mom
There is an attempt to get Miller to spill the beans about what other SGOs she spoke with regarding Plame but she can't remember. I found this at Huff Po:

"But Miller kept on shilling for the Neo-Cons long after her role as an apparatchik in the Bush Administration's Propaganda Ministry had been exposed. On September 16, 2003, the New York Times ran yet another Miller story with the headline: "Senior U.S. Official To Level Weapons Charges Against Syria." The scoop was handed to her to create a buzz for the testimony to Congress the following day. The "senior official" was none other than the bellicose Neo-Con, John R. Bolton, who was then the undersecretary of state for arms control. Miller wrote that the leaked testimony came to her from "individuals who feel that the accusations against Syria have received insufficient attention." At a time when the Neo-Cons were riding high and hunting for fresh game, Miller offered her stenography services to them so they could vent their warmongering against Syria."

?: Aren't they allowed to ask her point blank whether she spoke to John Bolton about this? or are they not allowed to name specific names?

1. Aren't they allowed? Well they should have wide latittude
...after all, the Bush administration has claimed still claims it has a right to waterboard people into giving answers. Maybe a little water would refresh that little spy's memory.

2. I wasn't sure if there was some deal made (ie Journalistic integrity-of which
her is lacking-of course, but that she is allowed to keep her sources other than Libby, since he is on trial)
