Miller was working on a story about Wilson? Oh, interesting.
http://www.dailykos.com/storyonly/2005/10/9/12018/2223

"All speculation requires an abundance of caution, but the first gleaned mini-scoop does seemingly hint that Miller's testimony is very directly tied to Wilson himself, giving even more credibility to previous suggestions that Miller had been working on a story about Wilson, possibly obtaining information about his wife as early as June. Fitzgerald either needed to confirm some information through Wilson -- perhaps clarifying some points of Miller's own contacts with Wilson, could we glean? -- or at the very least was contacting Wilson for some reason that didn't exist until Miller finally agreed to testify. Tantalizing, for true Plameologists."

We do know that Miller loathed Wilson; he was getting in the way of her big story. I'd love to see the hit piece she was probably working on. I think that through all this, Wilson has proved himself to be a class act, as well as a truly brave man and a great American.

1. She needs to burn
My hopes and dreams are that somehow she would find herself indicted for something she did. Right now, I'm only hoping that she is fired from tne NYT.

2. But first she needs to
be shown as the liar she is. Not just to us - we know - but huge, frontpage news on every mainstream media station, every newspaper, etc.

5. Maybe Bill Keller will get dragged into this legally.
One can only hope. He has really ruined the Times.

6. i don't believe it was bill keller personally...
although he played a part.

it is the cia that has destroyed our free press.
the cia claims to have apents in every major media outlet in the u.s.
the cia has turned the media into propaganda outlets.

7. I think that corporate greed has done as much...
as any CIA infiltration to ruin journalism.

9. Here's something interesting
http://jameswolcott.com/archives/2005/10/the_fucking_ind.php

"As with Blair, the red flags were sprouting around Judith Miller's advocacy reporting for years, yet she was accorded the diva status of a Diana Ross or Lauren Bacall by the boys in charge. And as with Blair, some of those boys may no longer be in charge once the dust bunnies settle."

4. Jeff Gannon factors in here, too
http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=view_all&address=132x2146222

What do you suppose the relationship is between Miller and Gannon?

Hmmmm?

Could she be part of the Gannon/Bush White House Escapade Krewe?

Geez, who knows anything anymore...

10. In the course of Miller's research
for her story on Wilson she didn't have to publish anything in order to set the smear in motion. In the meantime, she was able to use the excuse that she was work on the Wilson angle and spread around the talking points.

Judy is known to stick her name on stories that she didn't write herself. I am sure she doesn't have a problem with writing stories for other people to use pieces of either.
