Ed&Pub on PlameGate

Editor and Publisher also brings us:

  • Rove "knowingly" refusing interviews related to PlameGate
  • Judge says he may send Matt Cooper to jail, despite Time releasing his source, just to prove a point and won't place him under home-only arrest
  • and the special prosecutor, Fitzgerald, goes after Judy ("I see WMD everywhere!") Miller in a way we know Ms. Miller never went after Chalabi or the Bushies on the case for WMD in Iraq
From the Miller piece:
Even more troubling for Miller, Fitzgerald seemed to suggest that she could face criminal charges, in addition to her contempt citation.
and:
"Miller’s views may change over time, especially if what is viewed as her 'irresponsible martyrdom' obstructing an
important grand jury investigation is seen to undercut, not enhance, the credibility of the press and, with it, any case to be made for a federal reporter’s shield law."
