Did Judith Miller of The Times Play an Even More Ominous Role in the Plame Outing, Presumably by Karl Rove?

There's a fair amount of speculation going on regarding it, for sure, like this posted by jpol at DailyKos:

SusanHu has posted a piece on Judith Miller at Booman Tribune that raises some interesting questions about Judith Miller. At this point it would seem that there are more questions than answers, but it is starting to look as if Judith Miller's role in this developing story is much more profound, perhaps even sinister, than that of an honest journalist being pursued for her confidential sources by a dogged prosecutor.
Miller was always an interesting component in the story considering she never filed an article about the Plame situation, at least, not one that was published. And she was by far the journalist most desperate to try to prove Iraq had WMDs everywhere, a position extremely convenient for the Bush position on why we went to War.

So no, it would not surprise me at all if her whole involvement in this case goes light years beyond being a "poor little defenseless lady journalist being made to cry by the big bad judges". I always noticed that in joint appearances by Miller and Cooper, Miller was always the speaker. He always was reduced to looking uncomfortable.
