"We had signed a waiver more than a year ago," Attorney Joseph Tate said. "We didn't think this had anything to do with Scooter. I was under the impression from talking to (Miller attorney Floyd) Abrams that she was protecting a number of other sources."
I'm sorry, but this just does not pass the smell test.
If the Times said it, then that pretty much settles it.
I do not believe that a NY Times reporter would go to jail to protect anyone connected with Bush/Cheney. There is more to this.
I read somewhere else this morning that part of the deal was that Miller only had to answer questions about Libby. Sounds like she got out of jail and can still protect her other sources.
Somethin' ain't right.
why the hell is Mr Tate even taking these phone calls? this "personal waiver" is all grandstanding and part of the Dems spin machine, why play into it? why didn't he just hang up the phone and tell Miller's lawyer - "our obligation on the waiver is complete".

Shouldn't any article by Pete Yost have a barf alert? I mean, even if he reports the weather, he would find a way to give it a lefist spin.
"Continued sunny weather continues to pose a problem for the white house..."

What do you make of this? (Much more of interest follows this statement.)
Yes, it would seem that Judith Miller was protecting a number of sources.
If Libby first learned of the name of Wilson's wife in the Novak article, that means Libby only knew Wilson's wife worked for the CIA, but was unable to pass on her name.
It would seem logical that a reporter learning that Wilson's wife worked for the CIA -- and it appears Libby's claim was that it was the CIA acting on Wilson's wife's recommendation rather than Vice President Cheney as Wilson claimed who sent Wilson to Niger -- that the reporter would want to determine if that were true. The simplest path to determining the truth or falsehood of that whether Wilson's wife worked for the CIA would be for the reporter to contact Wilson and ask, "Joe, does your wife work for the CIA?"
My money is still on Joe Wilson having been the source of the information that his wife worked for the CIA -- and he is clearly the source of the furor about his wife being a "covert operative" which she hasn't been for about a decade or more.
how many lies and lying omissions did I find in the article? I gave up at 7.
It is now my opinion that is all they have. Which is absolutely nothing. They will try to muddy very clear statements from the President to prove "corruption" and it will get just about as far as...mmm...Enron gate. (Sorry, that is the only one I could remember. They are so insignificant.)
Oddly, both of the time frames given for Plame's last trip out in the field as a covert agent are more than 5 years prior to July 2003. Oops.
