Times Reporter Is Subpoenaed in Leak Case (Wilson/Plame fiasco)

August 13, 2004 Times Reporter Is Subpoenaed in Leak Case By ADAM LIPTAK

Reporter for The New York Times, Judith Miller, was subpoenaed yesterday by a Washington grand jury investigating the disclosure of the identity of a C.I.A. undercover officer to the syndicated columnist Robert Novak and other journalists.

The subpoena to Ms. Miller was only the most recent of a series issued to journalists in a politically sensitive inquiry that has on several occasions led investigators to question White House officials.

Arthur Sulzberger Jr., the publisher of The Times, said the paper would move to quash the subpoena to Ms. Miller, issued at the behest of Patrick J. Fitzgerald, the special prosecutor heading the investigation.

"We regret that the special prosecutor has chosen to issue a subpoena that seeks to compel Judy Miller to reveal her confidential sources," Mr. Sulzberger said. "Journalists should not have to face the prospect of imprisonment for doing nothing more than aggressively seeking to report on the government's actions. Such subpoenas make it less likely that sources will be willing to talk candidly with reporters and ultimately it is the public that suffers.''

Lawyers for The Times said the paper expected that it would be served a separate subpoena for its records. They said the paper would fight that subpoena, too.

On Monday, a federal district judge in Washington held Time magazine and one of its reporters in contempt for refusing to identify their sources in the same case. The judge, Thomas F. Hogan, ordered the magazine to pay $1,000 a day and its reporter, Matthew Cooper, jailed until the sources were named. He suspended the sanctions pending the outcome of an appeal.

Judge Hogan will also hear The Times's motion to quash.

Mr. Novak was the first journalist to identify Valerie Plame as an undercover C.I.A. officer, in a column on July 14, 2003. Ms. Plame's husband, Joseph C. Wilson IV, a former diplomat, has asserted that the disclosure of her identity was retribution for his contention eight days earlier, in an Op-Ed article in The Times, that President Bush relied on discredited intelligence on Iraq in his 2003 State of the Union address.

The Times has not published any articles saying it received information about Ms. Plame's identity.

"ultimately it is the public that suffers" from having to listen to the sanctimonious self-righteous swill from these partisan media shills. That would not include Judy Miller (AFAIK) who wrote this excellent book:

God Has Ninety-Nine Names God Has Ninety-Nine Names

Clarke could be another one, whom we will see being investigated.

However, I did not realize that Wilson had his own website that was paid for linked to by the Komrade Kerry Kerrorists the new KKK, web site.*

I would bet that his hard disk/server might have have contributed to this list of liberal names. If so, he and his fellow left wingers left an electronic trail that a third grader could follow.

The arrogance of these elite leftwing limo mediots and their hatred of GW would drive them to violate our security laws, as no laws have ever applied to them. (No Controlling Legal Authority).

What would be a real coup would be if we found out this was discussed in that special meeting in January of this year with the NYC mediots an DC mediots to plan the media attack on GW. Maybe someone can recall that thread for us.

*When the 9/11 report came out and showed that Wilson was a liar, the dorky computer nerds at the KKK website removed all links and connections to Wilsons website that they paid for.

Please post your review, so I don't end up with about 6,000 new cookies from Amazon.com.

But, but, they're delicious chocolate chip... actually, I've never reviewed it for Amazon... I've got the book, but didn't read it cover to cover, preferring to cherry pick chapters now and then. Guess I'm an underachiever.

Thanks for saving my reputation, Grampa Dave. I did not realize my statement would look so bad once it posted - a good warning for me. I guess!

That was why I could find your review of the book. You fell down on your job.

Get to work and review that book!:)

When I really screw up, and it happens to all of us.

I just hit the abuse button and ask the adm mod to remove my post. Then I get a dozen freepmails and emails from lurkers I know wanting to know what the nasty mods removed.

I reply, "Something I posted in error or haste!"

Thanks

Thanks again. I did not know you could do that. When I read the guidlines for posting, I got the impression that a post was "forever". I see now how easy it is to sound like a fruitcake - or worse!

Thanks!

If it isn't the NY Slimes it is the Washington compost. If not them, then NewsWeak, if not those three then the phoney weekly news mag, Slime.

The world and America would be a better place if all of the socialists, communists, Islamofascist, homofascists and whatever, who work for, control or own these rags just left and stopped wasting oxygen.

It starts out with a lynching, and as the victim swings, the Islamic lemmings shout Allah Akbar. A chapter on the late King Hussein of Jordan based on years of interviews. Synopses on the political histories, which means coups and dictatorships almost exclusively. If you've read the Amazon reviews, you've seen the foaming at the mouth of those who don't like the book, almost exclusively by those who'd like to see her in a burqa.
