August 13, 2004 Times Reporter Is Subpoenaed in Leak Case By ADAM LIPTAK
Reporter for The New York Times, Judith Miller, was subpoenaed yesterday by a Washington grand jury investigating the disclosure of the identity of a C.I.A. undercover officer to the syndicated columnist Robert Novak and other journalists.
The subpoena to Ms. Miller was only the most recent of a series issued to journalists in a politically sensitive inquiry that has on several occasions led investigators to question White House officials.
Arthur Sulzberger Jr., the publisher of The Times, said the paper would move to quash the subpoena to Ms. Miller, issued at the behest of Patrick J. Fitzgerald, the special prosecutor heading the investigation.
"We regret that the special prosecutor has chosen to issue a subpoena that seeks to compel Judy Miller to reveal her confidential sources," Mr. Sulzberger said. "Journalists should not have to face the prospect of imprisonment for doing nothing more than aggressively seeking to report on the government's actions. Such subpoenas make it less likely that sources will be willing to talk candidly with reporters and ultimately it is the public that suffers.''
Lawyers for The Times said the paper expected that it would be served a separate subpoena for its records. They said the paper would fight that subpoena, too.
On Monday, a federal district judge in Washington held Time magazine and one of its reporters in contempt for refusing to identify their sources in the same case. The judge, Thomas F. Hogan, ordered the magazine to pay $1,000 a day and its reporter, Matthew Cooper, jailed until the sources were named. He suspended the sanctions pending the outcome of an appeal.
Judge Hogan will also hear The Times's motion to quash.
Mr. Novak was the first journalist to identify Valerie Plame as an undercover C.I.A. officer, in a column on July 14, 2003. Ms. Plame's husband, Joseph C. Wilson IV, a former diplomat, has asserted that the disclosure of her identity was retribution for his contention eight days earlier, in an Op-Ed article in The Times, that President Bush relied on discredited intelligence on Iraq in his 2003 State of the Union address.
The Times has not published any articles saying it received information about Ms. Plame's identity.

Clarke could be another one, whom we will see being investigated.
However, I did not realize that Wilson had his own website that was paid for linked to by the Komrade Kerry Kerrorists the new KKK, web site.*
I would bet that his hard disk/server might have have contributed to this list of liberal names. If so, he and his fellow left wingers left an electronic trail that a third grader could follow.
The arrogance of these elite leftwing limo mediots and their hatred of GW would drive them to violate our security laws, as no laws have ever applied to them. (No Controlling Legal Authority).
What would be a real coup would be if we found out this was discussed in that special meeting in January of this year with the NYC mediots an DC mediots to plan the media attack on GW. Maybe someone can recall that thread for us.
*When the 9/11 report came out and showed that Wilson was a liar, the dorky computer nerds at the KKK website removed all links and connections to Wilsons website that they paid for.
Please decode what you are trying to say below. I have no idea of what your are saying or implying:
OK will later, am in vehicle and my machine is flaking in and out.... later
Thanks!
Ping me when you can. If I don't answer, I will be fly fishing for awhile and doing some Honey Do stuff before and after the fun stuff.
Please post your review, so I don't end up with about 6,000 new cookies from Amazon.com.
Thanks for saving my reputation, Grampa Dave. I did not realize my statement would look so bad once it posted - a good warning for me. I guess!
That was why I could find your review of the book. You fell down on your job.
Get to work and review that book!:)
When I really screw up, and it happens to all of us.
I just hit the abuse button and ask the adm mod to remove my post. Then I get a dozen freepmails and emails from lurkers I know wanting to know what the nasty mods removed.
I reply, "Something I posted in error or haste!"
there's the leak
I need help decoding today, my decoder ring that came in box of Wheaties, 60 years ago isn't working today.
Please decode for me: "there's the leak."
Thanks

Thanks again. I did not know you could do that. When I read the guidlines for posting, I got the impression that a post was "forever". I see now how easy it is to sound like a fruitcake - or worse!
I figure that anywhere the NYT, or Times or Timne Life....there's the leaker, liar or whatever...it's alway them
Thanks!
If it isn't the NY Slimes it is the Washington compost. If not them, then NewsWeak, if not those three then the phoney weekly news mag, Slime.
The world and America would be a better place if all of the socialists, communists, Islamofascist, homofascists and whatever, who work for, control or own these rags just left and stopped wasting oxygen.
Try it now on that reply, and watch.

On my last reply about fruitcakes or the one about baldwin? Will the moderators get mad if I am just "testing" them?
BTW - I have donated to the Swift Boat Vets.
Pick the one you would like to see go into electronic limbo.
Thanks for the Swift Boat Donation.
This is GREAT,but will it get any MSM coverage on the alphabet nets?
Silly lady!:)
