Is the media pissed over how Judith Miller was handled?
Is that why they went into full attack mode today at Scott McClellan?

I think you're onto something.

4. I agree with that -- they see a * shill in jail and figure
it could be any one of us at any time for any reason. They are in nothing left to lose mode and wanting to avenge one of their own.

5. I was thinking the very same thing
Today's press conference was TOTALLY unlike the Bush-apologetic media. I have hope that it's finally dawned on them that BushCo doesn't give a rat's hindquarters about any of them; they are just as expendable as anyone else. There ARE NO favors with the Bushies; they are the worst backstabbers on Earth. This Judith Miller thing has shown the lapdog media that they could very well be next in line if they don't work together and get the story out.

6. Yes, they're pissed about Miller.
For the wrong reasons, I might add.

As for McLyin's grilling, it came about because he was caught in an easily verifiable lie. Rove admits, via his attorney, that he was involved. McLyin denied that involvement earlier. Thus the grill.

8. Is the rumor that Ms Miller is on suicide watch true?
Maybe she is in danger.

7. my local paper defended Judy Miller
Talked about freedom of the press and all that crap.

What I want to know is where they were when my first amendments went out the window for "national security".

And they want me to defend them now--cuddle the Freedom of Press Amendment in my arms and say "poor baby"?

Ha, I laugh at how the press is so indignant about this trampling of their rights.

*rant off*
