Veteran New York Times reporter Judith Miller’s one-woman crusade to protect her White House source in a CIA leak inquiry has stirred passions among Times staffers not seen since the Jayson Blair scandal, when the unsuspecting paper ran dozens of fictionalized articles.

Conversations with nearly a dozen Times reporters revealed a scarred landscape of discontent. Few reporters were willing to go on the record, but none who spoke with RAW STORY said they supported Miller. Many voiced worries that the paper’s editor, Bill Keller, was sacrificing his own integrity to protect her.

At least two reporters say they’ve heard that Miller plans to resign after the paper runs their examination, which most expect Sunday. According to the Huffington Post, Miller has inked a $1.2 million deal for a tell-all expose.
