Why is Judith Miller's name mentioned in this article? They only seem to refer to what Shenon did, but nothing about Miller.
Here's a tie-in:
A guess: Miller had the contacts among the Islamists and/or within the FBI, as per her 1/01 series on Bin Laden/Al Qaeda, and passed the info/contacts onto Shenon.
At this point, I think it's more important to expose exactly who within the FBI and CIA are continually leaking classified info to the Times. After all, there's no mystery about the Times' agenda, and no one can seriously claim ignorance of what might be done with the information.
She may be a witness, as in she may have information that aids the investigation (knowingly or UNknowingly) and may not be complicit in any wrongdoing.
I posited that was her role on yesterday's thread. I hope I'm right. I've always like Miller.
Maybe she received the calls from him and relayed them to someone else?
