#2 This is classic. This whole thing makes my eyes glaze over, but I've followed it enough to wonder if, as Miller is about to be exposed (ie: Time Magazine) for being the orginal source - and the left, once again looking like fools led to the Kos Kool-aid, we have them now turning on Miller and implying she's a Rumsfeld stooge.

Millerâs special relationships go much further than Scooter Libby, Richard Perle and the rest of the neocon establishment. Take her involvement as an embedded reporter during the war with the Pentagonâs Mobile Exploitation Team (MET) Alpha -- the unit charged with hunting down Saddamâs WMD. .... Was this the reward for her pro-administration prewar reporting? .... Millerâs assignment was so sensitive that Don Rumsfeld himself signed off on it

Is Karl Rove really this brilliant - willing even to offer himself up as bait to reel them in once again?

Oh, gosh. It must suck not to be able to think for yourself and have to have the DNC tell you how to look like an idiot.

#3 How can their be hope for a caliphate when Mossad and the Neocons (read zionist cabal) are so clever?? First bin Laden is a stooge, meant to turn the world against Islam. Then the London bombings clearly had their fingerprints on it. We all might as well surrender to them now.

#4 All the Media outlets are claiming that Judith Miller is in jail for refusing to reveal her sourde. What she is really there for is for refusing to answer certain questions that the Special Prosecutor was asking. He already knows her source. Instapundit had a very good article a few days ago laying all this out.
Finally, the Times notes the Judy Miller situation in passing, telling us this:
With Judith Miller, a reporter for The New York Times, in jail for refusing to divulge her source for the same information about Ms. Wilson, and the grand jury set to expire in October, the outcome of the investigation remains unclear.
"Refusing to divulge her source"? It is possible that, in a very broad sense, this is true (and conspiracy buffs love it!). However, based on the record established in the court hearings, the Special Counsel has subpoenaed Ms. Miller to discuss her conversation with a specific, named individual who, we have been told, has waived confidentiality (but not to Ms. Miller's satisfaction).
She is not "refusing to divulge her source" - Fitzgerald has identified this source. She is refusing to discuss her conversation with a particular person, known to the prosecutor, who may or may not have been her source for information about Ms. Wilson. That strikes me as a subtle but important distinction.

#5 Yawn. As I said before, let her rot in jail until she's ready to talk to the Grand Jury.

#6 Hi, Judy! We're thinking of you here at the Times. Thought I'd say hello from the limo. The Hamptons traffic is brutal as usual, even this early. Looks like fine weather for the weekend though.
Martha's been giving me good tips on her dealings with the prison experience so I thought I'd share with you. She says to avoid the larger women, especially the ones sporting tatoos. Says they signify some tribal prison ranking. Curry favor with anyone refered to as a "Boss Dyke" I believe she called them. This person can supposedly be helpful in making the incarceration experience more palatable. She offered so many fascinating bon mots on the incarceration experience, but unfortunately my secretary was not available to chronicle them. Another time, perhaps?
Well, ta-ta. Don't let the bed bugs bite. And if they do, Martha said that lighter fluid worked wonders in combating them. I'll say hello for you at the club. Kiss-kiss.

#7 Huffington ... isn't she that rich TWIT from SanFran?

Got what? Maybe 1% of the vote running for Gov.

Even Jessie pulls more weight than she does.
