Why Am I Not Playing a Sad Violin for Miller?

Sure, at first glance, as a journalist myself, it would be easy to salute Miller - a woman going to jail for her principles rather than allow a court to force her to divulge her sources.

But so much about this whole case does not - and has not - passed the bullshit scratch n sniff test. This is true even if you cut away the obvious double sodomy being committed by the Bushies upon her - get her to tow their propaganda and then leave her hanging limply by her neck - in a very stylish suit, of course - while they ask, "Plame who?"

In fact, it scraps the smell test so badly that I am forced to agree with contributor Shirley Smith over at Buzzflash when she writes:

could it be that Miller fears her source more than jail?
Anybody get the same uncomfortable feeling?
