Yikes :-(
No surprise, really, but plenty of disgust... I hope they nail him to the wall.
I'm going to mail this out to some of the more balanced media contacts but I don't think we can count on NYT competitors like the Washington Post and WSJ doing in-depth investigation and calling much attention to this... my guess is they'll want the Justice Dept to lose this fight when it comes to revealing sources. Maybe Hannity and O'Reilly would cover it.
Just noting for the record that I posted earlier that Fox reporterette Rebecca Gomez told the tale of the NY Times investigation this thread is based on and she added both times that Judith Miller is also under subpoena in the Valerie Plame grand jury.
Both times that I heard her, the second time mere seconds ago, she called Valerie Plame "Valerie PLUME".
Good grief.
The WSJ has already come out and said that the NYT should have been careful what they asked for in demanding that Novak give up his sources because they can't have it both ways. They did an editorial about it a while back.
