[It reveals many devastating new details...]
Hardly "devastating". Who wrote this article, a High School Freshman?
[...when she {Miller} testified for a second time in the case this week, she could not recall who mentioned that name to her...Miller claims that she simply "could not recall" where the "Valerie Flame" notation came from, "when I wrote it or why the name was misspelled."
Ah, another case of "Washheimer's Disease" -- quite common among Washington DC Leftists and corrupt politicians.
[She said she "didn't think" she heard it from Libby, a longtime friend and source.
This is distressing. Hopefully, Libby has been reassigned to removing pigeon droppings from DC monuments for the rest of his tenure.
[But her notes..."leave open the possibility" that Libby told her that former Ambassador Joseph Wilson's wife worked at the CIA...]
The usual wishful thinking from the ignorant and childish Leftist OM.
[The article concludes with this frank and brutal assessment: "The Times...limited its own ability to cover aspects of one of the biggest scandals of the day.
One of the biggest scandals of the day? Please add the term "delusional to my previous comment.
[Even as the paper asked for the publics support, it was unable to answer its questions.]
The MSM siren song: "Please, please help us defeat the evil Conservatives. We can't do it alone. Especially when the facts fail to support our position.
[Thus, the article appears to be less than the "full accounting" with full Miller cooperation that the editors promised.]
Translation: "Since we created this horrible mess in our rabid attempt to discredit Bush prior to the 2004 election, and since he was elected anyway, we're going to cover our asses and ignore this story now, and we really wish it would all just go away."
[Just as surprising, the article reveals that Keller and the Times' publisher, Arthur Sulzberger, did not review her notes.]
Obligatory non-denial denial / CYA memo as regards NYSlimes' editors and publishers (especially old Pinchy -- he has lots of loaves to pinch in the future).
[The article says that Miller is taking some time off but "hopes to return to the newsroom,"...]
Translation: "Miller is taking time off to be with her family -- this before she is about to have a lot more time off to be with her family."
[Meanwhile, newsroom leaders expressed frustration about the Times' coverage (or lack of) during the entire ordeal.]
Coverage? There was coverage?
[Saturday's story says that Miller was a "divisive figure" in the newsroom and a "few colleagues refused to work with her." Doug Frantz, former chief investigations editor at the paper, said that Miller called herself "Miss Run Amok," meaning, she said, "I can do whatever I want."]
The Slimes prepares to throw Miller under the bus. When you become a liability to a Stalinist, better steer clear of Ft. Marcy Park.
[The story also paints a less-than-flattering picture of Keller.] The Slimes prepares to throw Keller under the bus.
[...Libby wanted to modify their prior understanding that she would attribute information from him to an unnamed "senior administration official."
He should now be a "banished and disgraced ex-senior administration official".
BTW, this is a horribly organized and terribly written article. I'm hoping the author isn't more than 21 years of age.
No, but their lawyers proably did and told them what the notes say.
FWIW, those shows are live. Or at least, they go out live. A lot of stations sit on them for an hour or two in order to air religious programming first.
As an example, MTP goes out live at 9:00, but even in NYC and DC it doesn't get broadcast till 10:30. The pols probably don't mind, since that gives them 30 minutes to spin any screwups they make during the interview.
