New York Times reporter Judith Miller speaks during the 2005 SPJ Convention & National Journalism Conference in Las Vegas Tuesday, Oct. 18, 2005. Miller, who was jailed 85 days for refusing to reveal a source, defended her decision to go to jail to protect the source and told a journalism conference Tuesday that reporters need a federal shield law so that others won't face the same sanctions.

Miller's attorney, Robert Bennett, said on Sunday that the newspaper is trying to deflect criticism of its own coverage of the leak investigation by targeting the 57-year-old Miller.

What the heck do NYT insiders know about the Plame blame game? Do they know something about Fitzgerald's investigation and possible recommendations for indictments, scampering as they are to pre-position themselves for blame outcomes? If they were certain of the fall of the Bush administration, wouldn't they be lining up behind Miller for Pullitzer Prize oversplash?

Curious.

She was released Sept. 29 and agreed to testify after her source, Vice President Cheney's chief of staff, I. Lewis "Scooter" Libby, released her from a promise of confidentiality.

This is pure unadulterated B.S.! Libby released Miller of that promise BEFORE she went to jail.

One liar trying to take down another!

The Times is trying to save its reputation among the liberals and leftists who make up most of the paper's subcribers.

the newspaper should review reporter Judith Miller's journalism practices to address "clear issues of trust and credibility"

The Libs think Miller had some special relationship with Libby and others in the Whitehouse. This, of course, is not permitted and, as a result, sets her up as the fall "guy" when Rove and Libby are not indicted.

Can someone explain to me why the NYT is distancing itself from Miller?

BALD FACED LIE. Libby released Miller from any confidentiality months ago. It was MILLER and her attorney's who recently made a big deal out of supposedly getting it again and "clarifying" the release that had already been granted by Libby.

Investigate Kristof, too. He broke the Wilson story with unsourced lies from Wilson and Plame which were never corrected even after the SSCI said these were lies.

In fact, investigate everyone on the payroll but the guy who writes the crossword puzzle as far as I'm concerned.
