Miller's calls to groups suspected of funding terrorists had tipped them off to the raid and allowed them time to destroy evidence.

See post #147.

I hope most newspaper editors don't share your view that good reporters should simply pass on information from sources who "should have known what they were talking about."

A little critical thought and evaluation of sources before using them would help a little, no?

That's a charge. Has it been proven?

Well, the NY Times certainly agrees with you and hates Miller for reporting that there might be WMD in Iraq or that Saddam might be seeking them.

Was she wrong? I'm not so sure she was. But in any case she was reporting what the leadership of our country and every other country was being told.

Shouldn't we know that?
