In principle she's right, even if her reporting is so so wrong.

Well they sent Judith Miller to the hoosegow. Too bad. The Bush administration must be pissed though, because Miller is one of the mainstays of the so-called flagship of the "liberal media" who beat the drum so damn heavily for war in the first place. Talk about having your cake and eating it, too. While Bush and his cronies were chirping about the anti-American press, Miller was shoving bullshit information down the public's throat like we were all getting ready to become foie gras.

I do feel for Ms. Miller, because she's standing true on one of journalism's most cherished beliefs: the sanctity of your sources. Now I may be a bit cynical if I think Ms. Miller doesn't always care much if her sources are reputable or even telling a bit of the truth, but hey, it's a principle thing, right? After all, protecting such an important contact inside the Bush administration gives you cred with those nutcases for future "scoops." Of course, it seems kind of silly now that Time has let the cat out of the bag.

I'd feel a lot more sorry for Ms. Miller if she hadn't been basically doing bagman work for the administration. It's one thing for a reporter to go in and dig out stuff the government doesn't want us to know; it's quite another to become the medium through which the government distributes war disinformation and pisses on those who disagree with its policy.

I wonder what her prison name will be?
