OOOOOKAY
So let me get this straight. The NYT's Judith Miller spends 85 days in jail to protect a source that allegedly revealed the name "Valerie Plame" to her. But she misspells it "Valerie Flame" in her notebook. That notebook is the same one she used when she interviewed Scooter Libby, Cheney's chief of staff, yet Miller says Libby wasn't the name dropper. Someone else told Miller who Plame was, says Miller. But Miller can't recall who that was.
So she spent 85 days in jail protecting...what, exactly? A person whose name she can't remember? So how then did Libby's confidentially release work? Why did it even matter? She wasn't protecting him. I mean, she was but she really wasn't if Libby wasn't the source. Miller was protecting some unnamed shadowy figure who probably smokes cigarettes and fathered Fox Mulder. Or herself.
Minuteman, come back! We need you to sort this out asap.
