(Judith) MILLER FIGHTS SUBPOENA (For 2001 tipoff to Al Qaeda fundraisers)

Former New York Times reporter Judith Miller turned up at a federal appeals court in Manhattan yesterday for arguments over whether the feds have a right to subpoena her phone records as part of a probe into Islamic charities and terror financing.

The New York Times is seeking to stop authorities from gaining access to records for calls that Miller and another reporter, Philip Shenon, made to sources in the wake of the Sept. 11, 2001 attacks.

The NY Times can't hide from their treasonous support for Al Qaeda.

I'm beginning to wonder if her seperation from the Times was more of a self-preservation move (for the Times) than it was for stated differences.

Note: MSM BLACKOUT on Judith Miller's new subpoena for tipping off Al Qaeda fundraisers to an upcoming FBI raid so they could destroy documents. Only the NY Post is carrying the story.

CONTACT the NY Times public editor and ask him why they're not reporting the news they've they've been subpoenaed over their raid tipoff to Al Qaeda fundraisers.

'Must be nice to have connections.

This stuff just gets better every day!

And you wanna know something else? There's a certain name that pops up in this case too......

On December 3, 2001, consistent with
The Times’ policy of seeking comment from the subjects of its articles,
Miller telephoned HLF (Holy Land Foundation) and spoke with HLF
representatives about the information that had been disclosed to
her by one or more confidential sources. According to Miller, she
sought comment from HLF at this time only "about the government’s
intent to block HLF’s assets," and she did not intend to tip-off HLF
about the impending FBI search of HLF’s offices. Patrick J.
Fitzgerald, U.S. Attorney for the Northern District of Illinois
("Fitzgerald"), representing the government, has stated that on the
night of December 3, 2001, Miller disclosed to HLF personnel that "government action was imminent"
(Affirmation of Patrick J. Fitzgerald, dated Nov. 19, 2004, and that
the HLF personnel were surprised by the information conveyed by Miller.
According to Miller, "[t]hat government action was taken against [HLF]
did not come as a surprise to even a casual observer."

Miller, Shenon and the NY Times don't want to give up their Justice Department sources who told her about the upcoming raid on the Al Qaeda fundraisers.

Miller's tip to the terrorists allowed them to destroy thousands of documents and computer files before the FBI was able to secure their offices.

I'm glad to see the Feds are appealing this. A lower court judge ruled in February that the phone records were "protected," but legal experts felt it wouldn't stand up to appeal.

Miller tipped off the Holy Land Foundation before the post-9/11 FBI raid, and Shenon tipped off the Global Relief Foundation.

I would consider trying to find the source of those "tips" far more important than whether Valerie Plame was/wasn't/could be/should be an undercover agent

[jimbo123]

I bet this new development won't be on Chris Matthews tonight. The NY Times today is defending in court their right to tipoff Al Qaeda terror financiers based on tips from pro-terrorist sources in the Justice Department.

So she admits to being criminally stupid? Sounds like a clear-cut case of obstruction of justice. Why isn't she back in the slammer?

It's what Rush has been saying all along.

[theDentist]

Unfortunately, I can't get Rush in the office, and hear him once in a very blue moon.

Well, then let me say: Bright minds think alike!

[Just mythoughts]

Got to wonder if McCain's anti-torture amendment was a protection for the pressitutes, his most important constituency.

I would consider trying to find the source of those "tips" far more important than whether Valerie Plame was/wasn't/could be/should be an undercover agent.

The fact that Patrick Fitzgerald spent over two years on what everyone on the Net knew to be a no-brainer about Plame, now clearly shows what a Smoke Screen it was.

And you wanna know something else? There's a certain name that pops up in this case too......

There was a very popular theory here that Fitz's deal with Miller in the Libby case had to do with her Holy Land testimony. I researched it at the time, and have known since then that the government appeal (re: the Holy Land subpoena) was pending.

But Fitz's attachment to this case should not come as a surprise, I guess is my point.

MSM BLACKOUT on Judith Miller's new subpoena for tipping off Al Qaeda fundraisers to an upcoming FBI raid so they could destroy documents.

Old subpoena. She fought it and won in District Court. The government appealed, and that appeal is pending.
