| New York Times Reporter Jailed |
| 2005-07-07 |
 A federal judge ordered New York Times reporter Judith Miller jailed for contempt of court Wednesday for refusing to testify to a grand jury investigating the leak of a CIA operative's name. She was taken into custody immediately. Miller faces up to four months in jail, the length of time before the term of the federal grand jury in the case expires. |

| #4 Let's quarterback this thing. There are a lot of theories floating about as to who the source, now source(s) are. We can pretty much rule out Rove, since it is extremely unlikely, given the chronology, that the left would have kept this a secret, extremely unlikely a leftist like Miller would have protected a Bush source. Then there's Novak,who has testified and whose article says it was two Bush administration "senior officials." That lends credence to a theory that one of the sources was Colin Powell and the other the former CIA director, the one who stepped down to make way for Goss. ( Can't recall the guy's name at the moment. ) |

| #3 I am not one bit uncomfortable with it. I would be jailed if I refused to testify, what makes her so damn special? Being a North east liberal elite? Not good enough. |

| #2 I'm still uncomfortable with a jail term for an article that was never published. |

| #1 This is getting interesting. Two reporters on the same story, and apparently who have have two different anonymous sources, one who says its okay to talk and the other who won't step forward. My list of possible sources in descending order of preference: Judith Miller Matt Cooper Joseph Wilson Mr.Chimera |
