"Ms. Miller learned about Valerie Plame from a confidential source or sources whose identity she continues to protect to this day. If the suggestion is that she is covering up for herself or some fictitious source, that is preposterous. Given that she is suffering in jail, it is also mean-spirited."

Could the confidential source be the clintons? After all, she has already seen what can happen to a clinton fan--think airplane "accident".

This would be a colossal embarrassment to herself, would immediately end her career as a "journalist," and would end up causing the whole Rove angle of this story to unravel. I speculated yesterday that she may very well have figured that she'd get far more career mileage and positive media exposure by going to jail to cover for a non-existent source than by getting on the stand and invoking her Fifth Amendment rights.

I am sure you are correct. The solution is to put her in the county jail and not some soft suburban jail where solitude is her only burden. Put her in the same jail other criminals in her county go to.

And it's not Karl Rove because he has already released all members of the press from any confidentiality agreements on this topic.

Or anybody else in the White House...they've all signed the same releases.

So who could it be....hmmmm..

That sounds like a great idea!

Okay! Judy wanted to go on a diet...
