Hmmmm... is the Pen mightier than the Shiv?

We need to get behind Judith Miller and Matthew Cooper - they've been fair and honest with us... ummm, never mind...

[thoughtomator]

I would love to see this headline every day.

We need to get behind Judith Miller and Matthew Cooper - they've been fair and balanced with us... ummm, never mind...

Floyd Abrams, a prominent First Amendment lawyer who represented Miller, told reporters: ''Judy is an honorable woman, adhering to the highest tradition of her profession and the highest tradition of humanity.''

Don't lawyers ever realize what idiots they make of themselves when they say stuff like this?

''Judy Miller made a commitment to her source and she's standing by it,'' New York Times executive editor Bill Keller told reporters.

A couple of nights with the bull dykes, junkies, gangbangers and the rest of the "unwashed" will have her begging to testify by the weekend..

[thoughtomator]

You can say that again.

''Judy is an honorable woman, adhering to the highest tradition of her profession and the highest tradition of humanity"

poor Judy,lets just call her butch- one tough reporter about to get her licks.

[Lonesome in Massachussets]

Miller argued that it is imperative for reporters to honor their commitments to provide cover to sources

Whew! Jason Blair is safe for now!

[byteback]

Nice how the Liberal mediums are all using the term "undercover CIA operative". Heard it on the CNN radio feed too.

I could go for a national shield law; however no reporter shall be permitted to protect someone who is breaking the law. Wanna blow the whistle on a defense contractor? Keep away from the secrets and blather all you want to a reporter. Anyone with security clearance knows how to walk the line on what is public knowledge and what isn't.

And sure, there will still be reporters who will stand up for what they believe in and go to jail. More power to them. Make them pay for the stay as well; typical room on that island is, what, $200 including meals and laundry service?

[eureka!]

The presstitutes are also ignoring the fact that this may have nothing to do with Plame. See #8 on this thread: http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/1437704/posts

A couple of nights with the bull dykes, junkies, gangbangers and the rest of the "unwashed" will have her begging to testify by the weekend..

That's called 'research'. She'll be thrilled with the stories she'll be able to write when she's out, and forever more she'll be referred to as the woman who went to jail to protect her source. Quite the badge of honor among the flagship media outlets.

matt cooper looks like Boss Hog

[patton]

I think Wilson is the source.

[shadeaud]

Wonder if her nickname in the joint will be Judy P-daddy

"I would love to see this headline every day."

It's a start at least . . .
