The Real question is why would Judith Miller go to jail to protect Karl Rove as her source? Not one press chimp would, so it can't be him
This investigation has gone WAY past "the source of the leak." The Feds are going after the Big Cahoona! The head Rats! The Big cheese! The whole Niger story. The whole trip was democrat controlled from the very start to the very end. ALL the players were left wing.
THAT'S why the democrats are in a state of mental chaos. THAT'S why the liberal press is screaming to cover the silence. THAT'S why Miller won't talk. I think she knows the whole story, from the beginning to the end. The "leak" investigation is now a cover for the big catch.
But, I could be wrong.©
As you may know Judith Miller supposedly tipped off a "charitable" group that was sending money to the PLO; that they were under investigation. The group supposedly started shredding documents after the call, which undermined the case of the prosecutor at the time, the same Mr. Fitzpatrick.
It is possible that the source Miller is protecting is actually the person who tipped her off about the original investigation of the charity (possibly someone in Fitzpatrick own office). It is possible that the "source" being protected has nothing to do with the "Palme" case.
We may be talking about pay back against Judith Miller. Since it is widely acknowledged, that it is very unlikely any 'crime' was committed in the reporting of who Palme's employer was. It is hard to believe Rove or any one in the Bush administration would be foolish enough to perjure themselves and then hope a liberal reporter working for a liberal paper would protect them, and given the fact that this prosecutor has been working against terrorists and their supporters, the real current target of this probe could be reporters and anti-bush liberal government officials who leak information for political gain. This whole thing could boomerang on the left.
Why else the tough line on Judith Miller, she is not exactly the type nor is her employer the NYT who would go to jail to protect a Republican.
You're right. Besides, Rove's name has already been revealed, so there's absolutely no reason for Miller to refuse to name him. It's not Rove, for sure!
