From E&P:
Appearing on CNN on Friday morning, before news of the CIA firing arrived, Bennett was asked by John Roberts about his controversial remarks. On his radio show, Bennett had clearly called for imprisonment for the reporters, charging that their reporting was not “worthy of an award” but instead was “worthy of jail."
Bennett on Friday, however, claimed that he had merely wondered “whether they deserved the Pulitzer more, or actually more deserving was a subpoena or perhaps going to jail.”Then he pointed out that former New York Times reporter Judy Miller “went to jail, and I don't know why we should treat these folks differently than Judy Miller.”Robert pointed out the cases were not analogous.
According to the transcript provided by Media Matters, Roberts said, “Judy Miller went to jail for contempt of court…. These people haven't been charged with contempt of court.”
