First?
Don't bother.
Read Judy's piece instead, paying attention to Fitz's questions, not Judy's answers.
There's also an article by Miller herself titled "My Four Hours Testifying in the Federal Grand Jury Room"
You liberals are just criminalizing journalism!
I prefer the Vodka Pigeon story
Thees story, en la Nueva York Times, she has confuse-eeng and contradeectory parts.
First we see thees:
Ms. Miller said her notes leave open the possibility that Mr. Libby told her Mr. Wilson's wife might work at the agency.
then thees:
Ms. Miller returned to the subject on July 12 in a phone call with Mr. Libby. Another variant on Valerie Wilson's name - "Victoria Wilson" - appears in the notes of that call. Ms. Miller had by then called other sources about Mr. Wilson's wife. In an interview, she would not discuss her sources.
then thees:
Mr. Bennett, who by now had carefully reviewed Ms. Miller's extensive notes taken from two interviews with Mr. Libby, assured Mr. Fitzgerald that Ms. Miller had only one meaningful source. He (Fitzgerald)agreed to limit his questions to Mr. Libby and the Wilson matter.
So eet was Leeby, then eet was Leeby and others, then Leeby, he ees the "Main" source,
and supposedly, Fitzgerald accepts Millers' laywers' assurances that Miller had only one source.
Aside from the "other sources" being deesmeesed out-of-hand,
why would Fitzgerald accept the assurances of Millers' attorney?
very confuse-eeng, no?
so.
This guy is desperate to get some Atrios or Kos attention: http://www.bloggledygook.com/
blo..._ted_you_a.html
I have yet to achieve the grace of being knighted or skewered by Kos or Atrios
And what he's doing is comparing hit rates from Ted Rall, who is of course primarily a *cartoonist* and has a rather inactive blog (so far this month he's posted 4 times) with mega-blogger Instapundit.
He's trying so hard! Throwing his integrity away, making silly arguments just to suck up to the wingnuts and to try to provoke some ridicule from the left. Please, Atrios, give him a link, and the ridicule he's trying so hard to earn?
Man, it's 8 pages of newsroom backstory, if you ask me. A few interesting nuggets, maybe. Like, why was she in jail if Libby had given her a waiver a year earlier? What principle was being upheld?
Mr. Bennett called Mr. Tate on Aug. 31. Mr. Tate told Mr. Bennett that Mr. Libby had given permission to Ms. Miller to testify a year earlier. "I called Tate and this guy could not have been clearer - 'Bob, my client has given a waiver,' " Mr. Bennett said.
Mr. Fitzgerald wrote to Mr. Tate on Sept. 12, saying he was concerned that Ms. Miller was still in jail because of a "misunderstanding" between her and Mr. Libby.
Three days later, Ms. Miller heard from Mr. Libby.
Puh-leeeeeeeease.
Thought not. But since I'm here, ma I ask an OT question.
I recall Bush saying a while back that the govt. was going to open the strategic oil reserves. Was I dreaming this? Did it ever happen? Will it ever happen?
Sure would be helpful this winter. Hell, this time last year I was paying $2.00+ plus for fuel oil and I belong to a consumer purchasing group (HEAT USA).
Gah!
riders losing by one!
Long story = 8 pages of "wha happened?"
Oh, this is pretty good:
On Sept. 29, Ms. Miller was released from jail and whisked by Mr. Sulzberger and Mr. Keller to the Ritz-Carlton Georgetown for a massage, a manicure, a martini and a steak dinner.
Did they also hire a male hooker to service her afterwards?
LED DISPLAY STATES:
jjjudith miller is a dedicated jjjournalis(hi)t.
"by inserting the 'hi' within a professional job description, the artist clearly deliniates the 'greeting' each column expresses both subjectively as gender and body-based text, and objectively as an article of faith (in the WHIG) the 'journalist' saying 'hi' clearly articulates.
"In the case of Ms. Miller, the artist clearly conjoins 'massive ego' with 'news' with the use of a 'salutation rooted in the politics of self.'
" redacting captital letters as a spin-off of the 'k' evidenced within the 'leftist-anarcho movement: kraftwerk, amerikkka, etc... the artist links both judith miller personally, journalists as an occupation and the word (shit) created by the insertion of the word 'hi.'

I made it through most of the first page...zzzz...thanks for confirming my first impression, Mike. 
"Valerie Flame".....looks like Libby's going down then.....
I think I'll wait for the movie.
Happy she got the massage & martini, though.
Here's the money quote: During the breakfast, Mr. Libby provided a detail about Ms. Wilson, saying that she worked in a C.I.A. unit known as Winpac; the name stands for weapons intelligence, nonproliferation and arms control.
Doesn't matter if he used her name; doesn't matter if Miller assumed Plame was only an analyst (who in their right mind would have assumed Libby would burn a covert agent?). Libby ID'd Wilson's wife as CIA. That was classified, and it's enough to get him indicted.
Cobraguy:
As I understand it, they can release all the oil they want, and it's not going to make a hell of a difference. It's a refinery problem, not an oil problem.
Or, we could be getting Enronned. Certainly possible.

Somehow, I suspect that wasn't necessary...
Perhaps I'll read it later. Not gonna spend a beeyootiful Saturday afternoon reading NYT excuses.
they kept a lying reporter because she had a rolodex full of lying adminsitration sources that could give the times exclusive lies...
the times has no credibility...fishwrap.
i fart in their general direction...
Ms. Miller said the publisher's support was invaluable. "He galvanized the editors, the senior editorial staff," she said. "He metaphorically and literally put his arm around me."
This passage stands out as one of the strangest in the piece.
By every account I've read, the editorial staff was hardly "galvanized" around Miller -- far from it.
The editorial staff never supported her and her chummy ties to the Bush neocons. Especially Rumsfeld and Chabali.
.
Did they also hire a male hooker to service her afterwards?
Where was Mr. JFM?
Still cruising the Mediterranean?
"On Sept. 29, Ms. Miller was released from jail and whisked by Mr. Sulzberger and Mr. Keller to the Ritz-Carlton Georgetown for a massage, a manicure, a martini and a steak dinner."
I'd imagine other reporters working at the slimes are more then a bit tired of judyjudy.
Flame Liddy. I like that.
for a massage, a manicure, a martini and a steak dinner.
I've never heard 'steak dinner' used as a euphemism for a threesome before.
Bottom line:
Judy can't recall who said Valerie Flame to her, because she perjured herself on September 30th, prior to the "discovery" of the notebook. On that day she said that Libby did not tell her about Flame/Plame.
If now post-notebook she says Libby told her about Valerie Flame, she is a perjurer.
Game, set, match.
Judy Miller is done, ruined and fucked.
I've never heard 'steak dinner' used as a euphemism for a threesome before.
Well, it is a lot more substantial than a tossed salad.
why would Fitzgerald accept the assurances of Millers' attorney?
Because he doesn't need JFM to tie up the case?
'I don't recall', indeed.

Crazy People Who Work At The New York Times
Judith Miller as quoted in Salon, May 27, 2004:
"You know what," she offered angrily. "I was proved fucking right. That's what happened. People who disagreed with me were saying, 'There she goes again.' But I was proved fucking right."
Judith Miller, as quoted in the NY Times, October 16, 2005:
"W.M.D. - I got it totally wrong," she said. "The analysts, the experts and the journalists who covered them - we were all wrong. If your sources are wrong, you are wrong. I did the best job that I could."
Oh my, poor her. Her sources were wrong! Gosh, you woud think that as a reporter, that it would have been possible to find some other sources, no? Well, thanks for clearing this all up for us anyway, now that so many people are dead and all.
according to raw story, judyjudy has taken an indefinate leave:
http://rawstory.com/news/2005/
Re..._take_1015.html
OK - I lied. I started reading the damn story.
But in the end, saying "I owed it to myself" after two months of jail, she had her lawyer reach out to Mr. Libby. This time, hearing directly from her source, she accepted his permission and was set free.
Funny how she decided she owed it to herself after a few months in stir.
I've never heard 'steak dinner' used as a euphemism for a threesome before.

"W.M.D. - I got it totally wrong," she said. "The analysts, the experts and the journalists who covered them - we were all wrong. If your sources are wrong, you are wrong. I did the best job that I could."
Every single one of them! At least the ones Judy spoke with.

I'm going with this answer.
Judy does not seem to be that bothered by what has happened.

What is going to happen?

Well, I posted this below before the new thread.
Does Judy really expect us to believe that when the brouhaha first started, over two years ago, she never went back and read her notes, or tried to reconstruct her conversations with Libby, while they were still relatively fresh in her mind.
If you believe that, well there is a nice bridge I can let you have at a discount.

Here's the money quote: During the breakfast, Mr. Libby provided a detail about Ms. Wilson, saying that she worked in a C.I.A. unit known as Winpac
I think Californian, above, is right; this is enough to sink Libby.
The way Fitzgerald worked in re: George Ryan (former gov of Illinois) is to squeeze the small fry, and work his way up the food chain to the Big Tuna.
I think Libby, looking at ten years in the slammer, will cough up Cheney. He'll certainly offer up Rove.
And, of course, if Rove is also looking at ten years, perhaps he'll squeal on Dubya.
We can but hope.
But on the whole, the article is worthless and factually empty, unlikely to do the Times much good, in my opinion, in repairing its increasingly shabby reputation.
I hope that Rawstory piece is correct. Miller should never be published again.
An interesting aside; after 85 days in jail, her hubby wasn't there as she was let out, just her bosses- to wine and dine her?
Weird, man, weird.
ql in ny -- I have the same thought. When the story was unfolding she would have recalled with whom she spoke. And it's not likely she's forgotten since.
So now what I really want to read is the next Huffington Post about the newsroom reaction to the stories.
Why did she go to jail if she doesn't remember?

"I think Californian, above, is right; this is enough to sink Libby."
Hope this is true...posted it at FDL hoping to get an answer from the lawyers over there..
massage, manicure
Oh, please, give me a fucking break. I've had massages there. They suck. Judy could have had a much better massage in Alexandria, and a much better martini and steak at the Palm. WTF was her "husband"? That's who I'd want to see if I'd just been sprung from the hoosgow.
During the breakfast, Mr. Libby provided a detail about Ms. Wilson, saying that she worked in a C.I.A. unit known as Winpac; the name stands for weapons intelligence, nonproliferation and arms control.
So, they meet again at breakfast to discuss this whole Wilson thing, and Scooter provides just about every detail you can imagine except, of course, her name. Uh huh.
And Judy leaves the meeting, assuming that Plame is just an analyst, because, you know, she didn't, um, ask.
Stinks like a phony legal defense.
I really hate the "I did my best" excuse. In my experience it's just a way of blowing off responsibility.
Well, we know what georgie will say as he's trotted off, don't we.
She said she hopes to cover "the same thing I've always covered - threats to our country."

Yeah, didn't catch that...strange relationship, apparently..
Of course, if he could prove conspiracy to go with it, there's no telling what could happen.
What the hell is wrong with the Times. This is ridiculous. I always knew Miller was an asshat, but please. Does she really think this helps her case in the court of public opinion? I forgot, she just cares about the Bush White House.
ASSHAT.
This pisses me off. She is an idiot.
his cousin Soup bone
I can't believe she agreed to call him a "former hill staffer". She had no problem because she knew he "used to work on the hill."
Hell, why didn't she ID him as a former Choir Boy or former "Little Leaguer". I'm sure he was both of those as well.
I guess they didn't want it to seem like Little League Baseball was attacking Wilson.

The Times insider stuff is rather drab, but the article by Judy Miller gives an interesting perspective on where Fitzgerald seems to be going, at least on Libby.
I thought it was telling that he asked her to read the letter from Libby in front of the Grand Jury. The part where he seems to be imploring her to testify that he never mentioned Valerie Plame.
The one other thing I took from both articles is that Judy's credibility as a principled first amendment defender is mostly shot. Her jail time did exactly what Fitzgerald wanted it to. It made her think of ways to give up her source because she didn't want to spend another 18 months in jail.
So her dedication to what the Times and her viewed as a fundamental principle of journalism had a time limit. Good to know.
Miller wrote what Sulzberger, Robinson, Thurm and Golden instructed Bill Keller to tell Miller to do.
Judith Miller is the "Brownie" of reporters, in more ways than one.
Here's the money quote: During the breakfast, Mr. Libby provided a detail about Ms. Wilson, saying that she worked in a C.I.A. unit known as Winpac
Digesting the NYTimes piece, which is really short on substance other than confirming Ariana Huffington's reports about internal dissatisfaction with Jury -- I think David Derbes has it right.
That is a key piece of info -- Judy is saying she thought this made Plame an analyst. But I think that is convenient remembering...it also doesn't excuse Libby who in that statement likely violated at least the espionage act.
Miller sounds like Chimp. You see, she and Times just didn't do a good job of explaining how their lies were the truth and that up was really down....
"You could see it in people's faces," Ms. Miller said later. "I'm a reporter. People were confused and perplexed, and I realized then that The Times and I hadn't done a very good job of making people understand what has been accomplished."
----
I like that Miller is out front about her jealousy that "Novak" broke the story first.
Says a lot about Judy IMO.
Here is the coverrup in all its glory. Four "could not recalls" in four paragraphs.
----
"...I said I couldn't be certain whether I had known Ms. Plame's identity before this meeting, and I had no clear memory of the context of our conversation that resulted in this notation...
Mr. Fitzgerald asked me whether Mr. Libby had mentioned nepotism. I said no. And as I told the grand jury, I did not recall - and my interview notes do not show - that Mr. Libby suggested that Ms. Plame had helped arrange her husband's trip to Niger. My notes do suggest that our conversation about Ms. Plame was brief.
"...Mr. Fitzgerald asked me about another entry in my notebook, where I had written the words "Valerie Flame," clearly a reference to Ms. Plame. Mr. Fitzgerald wanted to know whether the entry was based on my conversations with Mr. Libby. I said I didn't think so. I said I believed the information came from another source, whom I could not recall..."
Mr. Fitzgerald asked if I could recall discussing the Wilson-Plame connection with other sources. I said I had, though I could not recall any by name or: when those conversations occurred...."
---
In the year after Mr. Engelberg left the paper in 2002, though, Ms. Miller operated with a degree of autonomy rare at The Times.
Douglas Frantz, who succeeded Mr. Engelberg as investigative editor, recalled that Ms. Miller once called herself "Miss Run Amok."
"I said, 'What does that mean?' " said Mr. Frantz, who was recently appointed managing editor at The Los Angeles Times. "And she said, 'I can do whatever I want.' "
Ms. Miller said she remembered the remark only vaguely but must have meant it as a joke, adding, "I have strong elbows, but I'm not a dope."
Ms. Miller said that she was proud of her journalism career, including her work on Al Qaeda, biological warfare and Islamic militancy. But she acknowledged serious flaws in her articles on Iraqi weapons.
"W.M.D. - I got it totally wrong," she said. "The analysts, the experts and the journalists who covered them - we were all wrong. If your sources are wrong, you are wrong. I did the best job that I could."
In two interviews, Ms. Miller generally would not discuss her interactions with editors, elaborate on the written account of her grand jury testimony or allow reporters to review her notes.
On July 30, 2003, Mr. Keller became executive editor after his predecessor, Howell Raines, was dismissed after a fabrication scandal involving a young reporter named Jayson Blair.
Within a few weeks, in one of his first personnel moves, Mr. Keller told Ms. Miller that she could no longer cover Iraq and weapons issues. Even so, Mr. Keller said, "she kept kind of drifting on her own back into the national security realm."
Ok, so why the hell don't they fire the out of control liar. She's given them every reason to.
The New York Times continues to support a "reporter" who has shamed it, has dragged it through the courts, has lost in the courts, has damaged its reputation and who is even stonewalling the editor and publisher. No reporter of color, none with fewer personal connections to Sulzberger would be allowed to stay on after the record she's racked up. She's his fault and his problem. If Keller was anything but the complete pimp he is he would have resigned to save his own reputation. But he's a pimp so it's all in a career to him.
The New York Times should be fired. No one who cares about the news should buy the poxed rag.
So, who's Judy really protecting? It's not Scooter.
Time to re-read Hersh's The Stovepipe.
I can see Judys Vanity Fair article 30 years in the future, as shes trying to sell her memoirs, ala gloria vanderbuilt et al.
"As I was doing Scooter, lou Dobbs rang me on my cell asking if I could come over for a quickie, but I told him I had go pinch Pinch's inch."
sheets -- well folded.
Iraq War due to 'simple miscommunication'...No big deal, folks:
"...With the understanding that I would attribute the information to an administration official, Mr. Libby also sought to explain why Mr. Bush included the disputed uranium allegation in his 2003 State of the Union address, a sentence of 16 words that his administration would later retract. Mr. Libby described it as the product of a simple miscommunication between the White House and the C.I.A...."
See, it was all simple miscommunication. No big deal.
---
Will Miller live long enough to testify at the trials? I truly hope she has good security.
That is a key piece of info -- Judy is saying she thought this made Plame an analyst. But I think that is convenient remembering...it also doesn't excuse Libby who in that statement likely violated at least the espionage act.
It's also self-serving as hell.
"Gee. I thought that meant she was an analyst."
Clean sheets.
Maybe after Scotty's indicted Judy can stand up in front of the gaggle and spew bullshit. She's qualified.
Poor Judy - the bylines and the songs, like the seasons, are all gone. And of course, on the flip side, "Put the bone in," she asked them, at the butcher's, "cause the glimmer has gone off my star."
Oct 2002 the WH puts out in a speech that Iraq was trying to obtain uranium from Africa.
The CIA tells them to pull it. It is not accurate.
Jan 2003 bush brings it up again in the SOU.
There is a debate again and media actually calls them on it. They have to apologize for it getting in.
And by June Libby is telling Miller that the CIA was to blame? That they were all wrong about wmd and trying to blame the wh?
Stunning.
I predict Hadley will be indicted.
He put it in the SOU.
The money quote is "she hopes to return to the newsroom."
Porterhouse conquers all.
I hope the do another OJ trial. Wouldn't you just love hearing a good prosecutor question Miller in front of 2,000,000,000 viewers worldwide?
The New York Times is pathetic. But what's even worse is that the readers who have the New York Times delivered to their homes will find the Miller Affair articles fascinating. I can't believe that there are people who take the New York Times seriously.
What I take seriously is the fact that some of their columnist steal ideas from blogs.
From Judy's article:
Vice President Dick Cheney's chief of staff, I. Lewis Libby, discussed Mr. Wilson's activities and placed blame for intelligence failures on the C.I.A.
BWAHAHAHAHA!
What bullshit. OSP (office of special plans) under Libby was cooking all the intelligence.
Try again Scooter. And for Judy to repeat it as fact, total bullshit.
I can see it now, the drama of it all. Will she weep or will she stand tall while testifying, "I don't remember."
As Hearst demonstrated, reporters write what they are told to write. 100 years and the US public still believes in a "free" press, meaning objective reporters.
Miller was a useful idiot to the WHIG. She is also a consummate liar.
Miller, Sulzberger, Collins and Keller have the blood of US soldiers and Iraqui citizens on their hands. The only decent thing for them to do is resign and apologize for the illegal war they promoted.
I thought grand jury testimony was confidential. Or something.
The money quote is "she hopes to return to the newsroom."
In the capital city newspaper on Palau.
"i SWEAR i never said valerie PLAME.
i said valerie FLAME."
- Pooter Liddy
Apparently she can't remember anything without her notes. She has no personal opinion on what those notes might mean, only on what they might be construed to mean. Perhaps her body was possessed for a few years by a Lovecraftian alien intelligence.
"I told Mr. Fitzgerald that Mr. Libby might have thought I still had security clearance . . ."
What a crock. And Libby is just a "former Hill staffer."
The NY Times colluded with WHIG to dupe the US public.
The money quote is "she hopes to return to the newsroom."
So does the newsroom. They spent a lot of money on tar and feathers.
I was almost disolved by my own bile when I read the NYT version.
These people really do live in little bubble of privilege. They have no idea how they are perceived by others. The one detail that sums it all up:
[i] At a gathering in the newsroom, she made a speech claiming victories for press freedom. Her colleagues responded with restrained applause, seemingly as mystified by the outcome of her case as the public.
"You could see it in people's faces," Ms. Miller said later. "I'm a reporter. People were confused and perplexed, and I realized then that The Times and I hadn't done a very good job of making people understand what has been accomplished."[/i]
Well, guess I need a little re-edumacating.
Judy still doesn't realize that the poor confused and perplexed little people don't need to be educated by the likes of herself or the NYT. No, we see through her those new clothes of principled stands right down to her skanky (massage and manicure, not with standing) birthday suit.
So it looks like Libby is up to his waist in deep shit. I wonder if Fitz has tightened the screws enough on him that Scooter will turn state's witness on his boss after the indictments are handed down. People say that Bush will pardon the lot of them, but someone charged with espionage and who's part of Cheney's shop, which apparently isn't on the same page with Bush himself right now? There might be enough doubt in Libby's mind on this point to hand over the goods on Cheney.
Flame/Plame....Novak did go to Who's Who...he made sure he had the correct spelling of Valeries last name. Think that maybe scooter was his source too? Or was it Judy?
What a load of crap - all these trivial details should distract us from their not telling the story? He said...she said...I think I'll go out for dinner.
She "can't remember" who told her?
Gaaaak.
Why did she go to jail if she doesn't remember?
Bluto W. Bush, you made me laugh out loud! That's one of those simple, childish-sounding but-the-emperor-has-no-clothes questions that cut to the marrow of the matter. I hope a prosecutor asks Miller that question in a public forum. "Ms. Miller, if you didn't remember who told you what, why did you go to jail to protect these forgotten sources?" After all, she could have sat down with the grand jury three months ago and said what she eventually did say: "I do not recall."
very interesting that Judy states that she was jealous of Novak, that she wanted to break the Wilson-Plame connection because it(somehow) undermined Wilson's credibility. No wonder she makes such loud noises about defending principles--how else to disguise the fact that she has none.
So many new questions, a few random thoughts of the top of my head having read the series of articles.
-Ms. Run Amok formerly the artist known as Judith "I was fucking right" Miller.
-Why was Ms. Run Amok worried that Libby might be afraid of her testimony?
-When and what were the entire circumstances surrounding the new notebook (the ones with Valerie Flames name in it) discovered and why was this not covered in any of these stories? Nothing in any article about the discovery of this notebook.
-She states Libby told her Wilson's wife worked for Winpac...but that Valerie Flame notation (from the notebook that had notes from Libby's conversations but did not come from Libby but from some other source she can't remember the name of)
-Winpac...what other person had lots of contact with Winpac...oh yeah Bolton and OSP.
Something else that bothers me...All these guys in the White House wondering aloud "Who is this guy, Joe Wilson?" If they knew anything about Iraq history they would know who he was. Right?
It is interesting how she talks about her notes on what happened, rather than speaking directly. Her readings of her own notes are unquestionably charitable to her cohorts and often it seems she is trying to establish "reasonable doubt" on their behalf by offering bizarre and confusing readings of events and statements that any reasonable reporter would have remembered, given the gravitas of the issues involved. It's very unsatisfying that she can't say what happened directly. It seems like she if hedging her statements, much as she accuses the CIA of doing.
Detailed analysis of Judy's lying in her article on her testimony here at Left I on the News
Judy Miller is a lying piece of shit. Oh wait, let me tell you what I Really think of her.
Hell, Judy-Judy-Judy shure cain't 'member much fer bein' a reporter an all....
Judy 'I fucked Chalabi Silly' Miller [re Novak's column]: I told the grand jury I was annoyed at having been beaten on a story.
Hmmmm. She's disappointed she didn't get to shove the knife in. Imagine that.
Cheers,
Bizarrely written article. Cheney didn't know Wilson? Wilson was a pretty prominent figure in Gulf War 1... Hard to believe.
