Ding Ding Ding! We have a winner!
And they all wanted to see Karl Rove frog marched in cuffs off to jail.
Who's laughing now at the MSM? LOL!
Just a theory.....
How much money is Judith Miller going to make off being jailed. It will make her a high draw on the speaking circuit, a book deal, an a revered status on talk shows for perpetuity. She must be hoping for at least one night in jail. She just got rich.
Rubbish. You need to go to jail for aiding and abetting the felon who leaked confidential national security secrets, not be "shielded" from jail because someone pays you to type on a keyboard (i.e. "journalism").
snif..snif..i'm verklempt.
Just a short comment on Wilson: In the annals of bad intelligence jobs investigated by multiple committees and commissions, Wilson's stunt in Niger still stands as the sloppiest example of unprofessional intelligence gathering. It continues to be mindboggling that he was ever accorded a shred of credibility, though it is easy to see how the New York Times was duped by his ineptitude. They wanted to believe.
It is a sorry, but serious case where the liberal media tried to hijack the 2004 election. So what about the public's right to know the full background as to which editors were involved and who the sources were? One thing is certain: We know Miller and Cooper are not risking going to jail to protect Karl Rove and the White House.
Some Pigs are more equal than others!! Quite an Orwellian concept! Jail the sucker!!!!!
Did Judy sign a book deal yet? How about a miniseries? Maybe Molly Grunewald,who is supposed to be married to Cooper,can get her lots of interviews and even a picture with the woman who lost the Olympic games for New York, Hillary Rodham.
It may be two different sources, for two different offenses. If Miller's in hot water for tipping off terrorists before an FBI raid, I hope she rots.
The BBC is reporting that Cooper received a "dramatic message" which freed him to testify. I guess he had to come up with a dramatic excuse, or risk getting shunned -- for whimping out -- by his liberal colleagues.
oy vey
Miller's source waived confidentiality, too. We've known that. She claims it could be coerced so says it does not sway her to talk.
It is not clear if it is the same source as Cooper's.
Thank you for highlighting the part I was going to comment on next.
What disingenuousness for this article to state Wilson was sent "by the Bush administration".
That was the point of Novak's first column---Wilson's wife at the CIA recommended her rabidly anti-Bush husband.
This article's phrasing is designed to imply that Wilson was sent with the blessings of the administration and they then ignored the fine fellow.
Fact: The WH never had a clue about Wilson's sojourn. What he really did over there is suspect, but we do know the scope of his "investigation" into the matter of Iraq and yellowcake was shallow, indeed, and certainly was not extensive enough on which to be basing his accusations.
What a disgraceful article---starting with the blithe description of Plame as "undercover".
something tells me her family rabbi will be getting his first phone call from her since she was a teen...
Emphasizing:
I could go for a national shield law; however no reporter shall be permitted to protect someone who is breaking the law. Wanna blow the whistle on a defense contractor? Keep away from the secrets and blather all you want to a reporter. Anyone with security clearance knows how to walk the line on what is public knowledge and what isn't.
And sure, there will still be reporters who will stand up for what they believe in and go to jail. More power to them. Make them pay for the stay as well; typical room on that island is, what, $200 including meals and laundry service?
Bumping again.
Remember when liberals came after our political speech rights and the New York Times stood with us against legislation that would restrict our constitutionally protected rights?
Oh, wait, they didn't care...
Well, remember when the liberals came after our private property rights and the New York Times stood with us?
Opps, forgot, they stood with those who would steal our homes and give them to developers.
Well, remember when they stood with us as liberals weaken our constitutional rights to own a gun?
Oh, Jeeze, forgot, they stood with those who would take our rights away.
Wasn't there a time... Nah...
Never mind.
Nah...she's only protecting Rove, so there's no gain to what she's doing.
Exactly! And if this had been any kind of officially sanctioned trip, Joe Wislon, himself, would've been guilty of violating protocol when he decided to write on Op-Ed for the NY Times.
There are so many convoluted lies still being perpetrated by the media WRT this story. Heck, they continue to leave out the fact that Wilson was the one who was wrong...and rediculed for his role in this fraud.
