	Judith Miller (journalist) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		In July of 2005, Miller was jailed for contempt of court by refusing to testify before a federal grand jury investigating a leak naming Valerie Plame as a covert CIA agent.
		Filings by Patrick Fitzgerald refer to Miller's defiance of the court as a "crime."[2] Some have speculated that Judith Miller may have already known about Valerie Plame before speaking with Libby on July 8, 2003 — and thus instead of protecting Libby she was protecting herself or others.
		Miller has drawn support from many journalists for the right to keep her sources a secret and for what she has consistently maintained is a principled defense of the First Amendment.

	Judith Miller plans to defend journalism's role in a democracy — all the way to prison
		Miller's position, as she repeated several times during the Berkeley event and during an interview earlier that day for KQED "Forum," is "You go with what you've got." She was referring both to her WMD sources and the questionable whistle-blowers she is protecting, but it's a statement her critics ought to keep in mind.
		Miller may be an imperfect martyr for the First Amendment cause, but with 15 other journalists battling a secrecy-loving government over their own confidential sources, you go with what you've got.
		Miller and Time magazine reporter Matthew Cooper are the only two who decided that the waiver forms were not voluntarily signed and thus could not void their promise of confidentiality.

		In August 2004, Miller was subpoenaed by a Washington grand jury, headed by U.S. Attorney Patrick J. Fitzgerald, who was investigating the leaking to Robert Novak and other journalists that Valerie Plame, the wife of former Ambassador Joseph Wilson, was an undercover CIA officer.
		The stories include Miller's first-person (http://www.nytimes.com/2005/10/16/national/16miller.html) recounting of what she told the grand jury, a chronology (http://www.nytimes.com/2005/10/16/national/16leak.html) of the Miller case, and an analysis (http://www.nytimes.com/2005/10/17/politics/17leak.html) suggesting that Libby, an aide to Vice President Dick Cheney, may still be a focus of the criminal investigation.
		Miller and Mylroie have both been clients of Eleana Benador, whose PR firm has represented many leading pro-war figures that have appeared prominently on television and in other public venues.

		Patrick Fitzgerald, U.S. Attorney for the Northern District of Illinois Patrick J. Fitzgerald (born 1961) is the U.S. Attorney for the Northern District of Illinois.
		In a separate case, Federal Judge Robert Sweet ruled on February 24, 2005 that Miller was not required to reveal who in the Bush government leaked word of an impending raid to her.
		Miller has also been characterized by some (notably syndicated columnist and blogger Arianna Huffington) as a possible co-conspirator with the Bush Administration in the attempt to discredit former Ambassador Joseph C. Wilson, who openly questioned the intelligence used to justify the 2003 Invasion of Iraq.

		Its duplicity was exemplified by one of its senior correspondents, Judith Miller, who is reputed in media circles to be an expert in weapons of mass destruction as well as on Islam, despite her lack of a science background and her inability to speak Arabic.
		Miller fired back that she was entitled to the interview as she had forged a relationship with Chalabi over the course of a decade.
		Miller’s connection to these elements stems from her ties to an interlocking network of right-wing and pro-Zionist think tanks that includes the American Enterprise Institute, the Hudson Institute, the Washington Institute for Near East Policy and the Middle East Forum.

	washingtonpost.com: Embedded Reporter's Role In Army Unit's Actions Questioned by Military
		Miller's role with MET Alpha was controversial within the Defense Department and among some staff members at the Times, where one reporter was assigned to check up on whether other embedded journalists followed similar procedures.
		Said a senior staff officer of the 75th Exploitation Task Force, of which MET Alpha is a part: "It's impossible to exaggerate the impact she had on the mission of this unit, and not for the better." Three weapons specialists were reassigned as the unit changed its approach, according to officers with the task force.
		Miller formed a friendship with MET Alpha's leader, Chief Warrant Officer Gonzales, and several officers said they were surprised when she participated in a Baghdad ceremony in which Gonzales was promoted.

		An internal e-mail by Judith Miller, the paper's top reporter on bioterrorism, acknowledges that her main source for such articles has been Ahmad Chalabi, a controversial exile leader who is close to top Pentagon officials.
		Miller has drawn criticism, particularly from Slate's Jack Shafer, for her reporting on the hunt for Iraqi weapons while she was embedded with the MET Alpha unit.
		While Miller was not allowed to interview the unnamed scientist on her own, Rosenthal said "she never said she never met him." Army officials "made an argument that his life would be in jeopardy" if he were identified.

	xymphora: Free Judith Miller!
		Miller is a totally disgreeable character, having just provided much of the incorrect propaganda basis that the Bush Administration used to wage the illegal and immoral attack on Iraq, and all decent people would bring marshmallows if Miller were burned at the stake.
		The fact that Miller didn't write about this matter is irrelevant to the main issue, which is ensuring that people whose position means they cannot speak publicly, because they would lose their jobs or would break a secrecy statute that ought to be broken, still have a possible voice if they have important information.
		If Miller goes to jail, the precedent will be set to finish off the possibility of whistleblowing, unless the whistleblower is prepared to lose his or her career and go to jail.

	Judith Miller: Embedded Over Her Head
		Yet Miller and her defenders can't or won't understand that a free press in a democracy depends on the protection of honest witnesses and not on the coddling of those who use the power of government to smear critics.
		Miller is still in jail, refusing to talk, even though one of her purported sources, Vice President Dick Cheney's chief of staff, I. Lewis "Scooter" Libby, supposedly has signed a general waiver freeing journalists to speak to the grand jury about their conversations with him.
		But the biggest problem with Miller is that her commitment to a biased and manipulative Bush Administration and Iraqi exile sources clearly has been stronger than her commitment to reporting the truth.

		According to Miller's story, MET Alpha members said this scientist had led them "to a supply of material that proved to be the building blocks of illegal weapons, which he claimed to have buried." The material was further described as "precursors for a toxic agent" used in chemical weapons.
		Miller says she had a running battle with the colonel in charge of the weapons-hunting unit with which she was embedded.
		Miller then went back to the colonel, who allowed her to interview three men who had done the first engineering report on the trailers.

		Miller knew that the U.S. brass wanted MET Alpha pulled out of Iraq, so she desperately needed some excuse to keep them on the beat.
		That need to be on the front page is the addiction for which Judith Miller sold her journalistic soul.

		It would be difficult for Miller to write a story when she was so deeply involved in how it developed.
		Both Miller and Plame covered the subject of weapons of mass destruction and it was likely that they knew one another, or at least were aware of each other's work in this field.
		This speculation may be unfair to Miller but it is fed by her silence and reports in the press.

		Miller reports that she also submitted her story to the military for review and agreed not to publish her findings for three days.
		The Mobile Exploitation Team and Miller continue to putter around Iraq, searching for intelligence documents and a missing Talmud, investigating tips about mobile germ labs to no avail, and finding a suspicious store of radioactive cobalt-60*, which is used in X-ray machines.
		At the very least, Miller's editors should review her dodgy reporting from the last 18 months, explain her astonishing credulity and lack of accountability, and parse the false from the fact in her WMD reporting.

		Fitzgerald seems bent on penalizing Miller for her knowledge of the case rather than for her proximity to the purported crime.

	Reason: Judith Iscariot: Miller sells journalism down the river. Again.
		To put it as plainly as possible, Miller didn't want to testify about the Vice President's right hand man not because he forbade her to—on the contrary, he gave her his authorization from the get-go—but rather because she had good reason to believe Libby wanted her to lie.
		And in Judith Miller's bizarre, journalistically compromised world, it is less important to catch a powerful official in a blatant lie than it is to protect your friendly relationship with a productive, high-ranking source.
		After all, these people were the basis of at least five of her own articles about supposed weapons of mass destruction in Iraq for which her own boss later had to apologize (while declining to single her out).

		In recent weeks, Miller testified to the grand jury in the leak probe that she had discussed Wilson and his wife in three conversations with Vice President Dick Cheney’s chief of staff, I. Lewis “Scooter” Libby in June and July of 2003.
		Keller wrote that if he had known of Miller’s “entanglement” with Libby, he might have been more willing to explore compromises with the prosecutor who was trying to get her testimony for the criminal investigation into the leak of Plame’s identity.

		That is, the very qualities that endeared Miller to her editors at the New York Times—her ambition, her aggressiveness, her cultivation of sources by any means necessary, her hunger to be first—were the same ones that allowed her to get the WMD story so wrong.
		Miller’s dramatic way of looking at the world may have something to do with her family’s show-business background.

		On April 22, Miller told The NewsHour With Jim Lehrer the military regarded the scientist as much more than "a smoking gun" in the WMD investigation—he was "a silver bullet." For all of Miller's fist-pumping on behalf of MET Alpha, none of her spectacular findings have been confirmed by other newspapers.
		In Miller's Jan. 24, 2003, story, "Defectors Bolster U.S. Case Against Iraq, Officials Say," neocon hawk and Defense Policy Board member Richard Perle attacks the CIA for its hostility to defectors smuggled out of Iraq by Chalabi's Iraqi National Congress.
		Miller and James Risen gave credence to Hamza's claim that the Iraqi nuclear weapons program could quickly be restarted in the salaciously titled, "Tracking Baghdad's Arsenal: Inside the Arsenal: A special report, Defector Describes Iraq's Atom Bomb Push" (Aug. 15, 1998).
