Brit Hume said tonight the word from the Rove camp is that Rove learned where Joe Wilson's wife worked because a reporter told him.This fits right in with the following article:
Something doesn't add up about why Judith Miller went to jail. The New York Times reporter didn't write a story about the Valerie Plame case and had a waiver from her source in order to talk about it to the grand jury. But she insisted on going to jail anyway. Speculation is mounting that Miller is protecting herself, that Miller was herself a source of information about Plame that made it to several Bush administration officials and was then recycled to columnist Robert Novak. He, then, disclosed Plame's employment by the CIA and her role in arranging for her husband Joe Wilson's mission to Africa to investigate the Iraq-uranium link.All Miller has to do is sit it out until the GJ expires and nobody will ever find out that she and the NYT was behind this whole thing.This would help explain why Miller didn't write a story about the case. It would be difficult for Miller to write a story when she was so deeply involved in how it developed. Disclosure of her role then or now would be extremely embarrassing.
The more likely explanation is that Miller is protecting private discussions with administration officials, and that during those discussions she provided or confirmed information about Plame's identity. This would make sense. Both Miller and Plame covered the subject of weapons of mass destruction and it was likely that they knew one another, or at least were aware of each other's work in this field.
That makes a lot of sense. Perhaps Miller herself is the real culprit in this investigation. Miller could very well be going to jail because she figured that she'd get more mileage out of her sanctimonious "protection of confidentiality" game than if she had been forced to take the stand and assert her rights under the Fifth Amendment.
Thanks for the info and I hope the SP has the goods on the Times and Miller without her testimony. As to the article, it's by Ron Fournier. 'Nuff said there.....
That makes sense, ESPECIALLY since the special prosecutor has said repeatedly, that Karl Rove is NOT the target of the investigation.
My belief is that the "target" is Judith Miller........
