Judith Miller 

By Cardinalpark at 8/03/2005 09:09:00 AM
Many in Blogland (Tom Maguire, for example) have written and speculated extensively about what the New York Times reporter is in jail defending exactly. It all makes for interesting chatter. She could be "protecting" any of Rove, Libby, Plame or Wilson. We have been told she has waivers from Libby and Rove, so, hmmm, protecting them seems unlikely. There have been no waivers publicized from the other two. Then there is the famous Vanity Fair article which Plame did where she outted herself. Maybe her source is the Vanity Fair people? Whatever...who cares? Is she motivated by partisan politics, journalistic principle or...defending the NY TImes from embarrassment. Remember, there has been no global aha moment which outted the Wilson oped piece as the piece of lying trash that it was and is. Miller talking could lead to that.

But there is a journalist out there who I bet has a pretty good theory of what the devil is going on. He is a New York Times guy. He is a friend and defender of Judith Miller. He is an advocate for protecting journalists from getting the prison treatment for staying mum. And he is a supporter of the Bush Administration. In other words, he is a rarity. He is William Safire. I bet he knows what's going on.

Somebody oughtta see if he'll talk.

I'm curious. I keep hearing about the lies in Wilson's op-ed piece but not hearing what those lies are. Outside of the standard, "Bush twisted the truth to go to war" which of course would anger Bush supporters, what are the other lies in his piece? Factual lies, not partisan stuff. And even the Bush administration has admitted Iraq didn't try to buy yellow cake from Niger.

It's important because everything stems from what Wilson wrote. If it really is a pack of lies then I can see why the Bush administration would want to descredit him. If Wilson was writing the truth, then its going to make me feel that the Bush did lie and is trying to cover it up.

So what are the lies?
