Well, liberallarry, here's something to ponder on; I don't think that the leak is the prime objective of this Grand Jury. I think Fitzgerald is after bigger fish.

By the way, one of the reasons Miller was questioned os to find out the source of her information on a raid on Islamic charities, which was tipped to the charity and evidence probably destroyed. This happened in late 2001.

Put that in your pipe and smoke it.

This sentence is incomprehensible. Aside from that Fitzgerald has been remarkably close-mouthed about his investigation...so I don't give your speculations any weight at all.

It's a separate grand jury that Patrick Fitzgerald has that involves Miller and her colleague, Philip Shenon, re the leaks involving Islamic charities. Quite possibly related as to what kind of leaks and criminality are being looked at that would be much broader than Plame's status in that particular grand jury.

TIMESMAN TIPPED OFF TERROR CHARITY: FEDS (NY Times Correspondent Accused)

excerpt:

U.S. Attorney Patrick Fitzgerald of Chicago charged in court papers that Shenon blew the cover on the Dec. 14, 2001, raid of the Global Relief Foundation — the first charges of their kind under broad new investigatory powers given to the feds under the Patriot Act.

"It has been conclusively established that Global Relief Foundation learned of the search from reporter Philip Shenon of The New York Times," Fitzgerald said in an Aug. 7, 2002, letter to the Times' legal department.

Federal Court Backs 'NYT' in Phone-Records Case

excerpt:

The lawsuit had said Miller's phone records were being sought in connection with an investigation into an alleged leak from a government employee to Miller in late September and early October 2001. It said the alleged leak concerned a government decision to freeze the assets of the Global Relief Foundation and a Dallas-based Islamic charity, the Holy Land Foundation, which has been accused of aiding Hamas.
