Could Judy Miller Have Been the White House’s Source?

Fitzgerald's investigation is supposed to be wrapped up in October.

[kittymyrib]

And Novak will spill the beans right after the investigation ends...should be a fun October!

[BurbankKarl]

That is why she is sitting in jail...she will get time served from the Grand Jury, while trying to make some sort of statement.

This is getting ready to blow up in the Dems faces. I can smell it.

No way! Don't you pay attention? I mean, look at how the impeachment of Bush will occur as a result of:

• BBV
• the TANG Memos
• the DSM
• Plame/Wilson
• The appointment of Bolton

We have much to fear ;)

So is the scenario: Plame told Miller, Miller told Libby, Libby told Rove and Novak, and Rove told Cooper? And Joe Wilson told everyone else? lol

These circular confirmations is what has been bugging me about the whole affair. From what I gather from Cooper's report, he told Libby something, Libby may have have told something to Rove, Cooper told Rove who replied "Yeah, I heard that," referring to what Cooper told Libby, and then Novak said something and Rove or Libby said "Oh, you heard about that, too?"

It seems that floating a rumor to one person who repeats it to a second person who confirms hearing it to the person who started it is what passes for confirmation theses days in the MSM.

Thank you.

I believe the inference was in his original article if you can get a copy of it.

>> 'She (Miller)is protecting some Dem or someone on the NYT'

> Bingo...my bet would be on a big time Dim. If it was

Particularly since Rove gave her the same blanket waiver
he gave Cooper, and Cooper has already blabbed what he
recalled of his conversations with Rove.

Of course, Miller could also be protecting herself. If
she had been [provably] warned about the undercover
status by anyone, dug up the name, and pubbed it, she
might be the smoking gun. Seems an unlikely scenario,
tho, as it's pretty clear that the law in question
didn't actually apply to Plame at the time.

So why is there still an investigation? Perhaps it's
morphed into a Stewart scenario, and is now just about
someone lying to investigators.

This Boomerang is heading back to the Wilsons!! Can you say perjury???

LOL! Any time Huffington makes sense, I know I have entered the Twilight Zone.

I have read an exhaustive report of this whole thing and Judith Miller is not in jail for the Valerie Plame thing.
She is in jail for refusing to name sources for another story entirely unrelated to the Plame Affair.
I believe this was in the Wall Street Journal last week. So check it out. Seems Fitzgerald is also investigating things not entirely related to the Plame Affair.

Just finished a great novel, "By Order of the President" by W. E. B. Griffin. One of the characters, a female CIA agent, is an ambitious, deceitful, physically attractive married woman. Her husband, another CIA agent assigned in Washington, is rumored to be gay. It it is obvious that the marriage is cosmetic only, since she promptly seduces the book's hero, telling him the she and her husband have "an understanding". I don't know why, but the name Valerie Plame popped into my mind when I read this section of the book.
