The NYT has been very adamant that Miller's source is not herself. Read between that line.

I'm going to need a little assistance to read between that line. How could Miller's source be on not be herself?

Miller, as a journalist, and Plame, as a CIA employee, both specialized in investigating the proliferation of WMD's. I suspect that they knew each other because of this shared interest. I'm going with Plame being Miller's source.

The NYT has been very adamant that Miller's source is not herself. Read between the lines. They know who the source is. There is a criminal investigation and it involves someone in the Administration who is almost certainly not Karl Rove. -NutCrackerBoy

National Review seriously floated the theory that Judith Miller was protecting herself. The New York Times responded in a manner I thought rather shrill, actually calling the accusation "mean-spirited".

I don't categorically reject all such theories - I think they fit the facts as well as any, if you discount what the Times itself says.

But at the end of the day anything is a long shot other than Judith Miller has information that is relevant to possible criminal act by a member of the Administration.
