  Jailing Journalist Judith Miller | The Progressive
Judith Miller was collecting information legally, and she was honoring her word to her source.
When a judge forces journalists to disclose their sources, that judge is interfering with the customary way journalists do their jobs, and these jobs, by the way, are the only ones expressly protected by the Constitution.
Joe Wilson is the whistle blower here, not Judith Miller, who demands the "right" to collude with top government officials to penalize insiders who bring the truth to the American public against her and her lying government partners.

 Judith Miller, Licensed Journalist
WASHINGTON, D.C. -Among the surprising revelations in New York Times reporter Judith Miller's own account Sunday of her activities in the Plame leak case was an admission that she had been given a security clearance while embedded with a military unit searching for weapons of mass destruction in Iraq.
Miller writes that special prosecutor Patrick Fitzgerald asked her to testify about her security status because he wanted to know whether she had discussed classified information with I.
Providing a journalist with a security clearance is unusual to begin with—former CBS correspondent Bill Lynch has likened it to the government's licensing journalists—but a security clearance within a WMD investigations unit dealing with highly sensitive matters is hard to believe.

 Judith Miller - SourceWatch
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 recounting of what she told the grand jury, a chronology of the Miller case, and an analysis suggesting that Libby, an aide to Vice President Dick Cheney, may still be a focus of the criminal investigation.
Miller "acted as a 'middleman' between an American military unit and the Iraqi National Congress while she was embedded with the U.S. armed forces searching for weapons of mass destruction in Iraq in April 2003, and 'took custody' of Saddam Hussein's son-in-law, one of 55 most wanted Iraqis," The Raw Story reported October 18, 2005.

 Judith Miller, a journalist of mass misinformation [Voltaire]
However, it was later known that as a «misled reporter», Judith Miller never had the chance to interview the Iraqi scientist directly nor to personally visit the places he mentioned and that she even had to submit her articles to US military authorities for clearance [13].
In the case of Judith Miller, many elements about her career point to the existence to shady relations —to say the least-with Washington hardliners, the same who staged the media disinformation program to fabricate an Iraqi threat [14].
Consequently, it is quite natural for Laurie Mylroy and her friend Judith Miller to become clients of the Eleana Benador Public Relations Office, representing those personalities in favor of the war, guaranteeing their appearance on television before the beginning of the offensive against Iraq [24].

 Judith Miller Did What All Reporters are Bound to Do
The case of Judith Miller, The New York Times journalist who was imprisoned for refusing to reveal her sources of information, puts on the table a subject that has yet to be sufficiently debated.
A journalist uses this tool to disseminate information of extreme interest to society and to protect a source that, if identified, would be exposed to retaliation or in the future be limited in his or her ability to provide new information or expand upon what has already been revealed.
The professional journalist, as a consequence, is obligated not to reveal his or her sources, even if that means going to prison.

 Judith Miller
Today, Judge Thomas F. Hogan of the US District court in Washington DC ordered that Miller be sent to jail immediately for contempt of court when she again refused to disclose the identity of government officials who may be connected to the leaking of the identity of covert CIA operative Valerie Plame in 2003.
Miller's refusal to identify her source may be a contempt of court, but what has ensued gives the public every reason to have contempt for the court and prosecutor that imprisoned the journalist but not the wrongdoer, that coward who stands back and allows someone else to pay for his crime.
The jailing of Judith Miller is a disservice to democracy and serves to encourage those who would oppress journalists and deny them their basic rights to free expression.
