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.

Probably Miller is protecting herself from any inquiries into the leaks from Fitz’s staff on the Islamic Charities case. Months of hard work went down the drain when she tipped them off about Fitz’s subpoena.

Or, various CIA folks who spoke to her on background about classified WMD stuff.

Hmmm.

She could have easily accomplished this by requiring her testimony to include only the Plame investigation. Instead she required her testimony to cover only her conversations with Libby.

Which means she is protecting another source in the Plame investigation and is using the “I don’t remember” dodge. I bet it’s either Valerie Plame or Wilson. Plame has been an analyst with nuclear proliferation dept in the CIA. Miller spent the better part of a year investigating Iraq’s nuclear proliferation.

It would have been strange if the two of them hadn’t met.

I second ed’s opinion. The moment I learned that Miller had uttered the defense, ‘I can’t recall’, a single name popped into my head: Wilson.

As to Plame outting herself, I guess it’s possible. Given all the pre-SP buzz in the print media, having a husband/wife team that both have a ‘spotlight addiction’ issue is not beyond the realm of reality.

Right

There is obvisously a lot to know about this. I think you made some good points in Features too. Great Job.
