Kudos to the Judge. When are they going to get that weasel Novak? He deserves at least 10+ years. --------------------------------- Martha's new roomie? Reporter Ordered To Jail In CIA Leak Case Judge Says Miller Must Reveal Source WASHINGTON -- A New York Times reporter called it "frightening" that journalists can be put in jail "for doing their jobs effectively." A federal judge has ordered Judith Miller (pictured, left) to prison for refusing to name some confidential sources. The judge said Miller will stay in prison until she agrees to testify about her sources before a grand jury looking into the leak of an undercover CIA operative's identity. She could be jailed up 18 months. The judge said the Supreme Court has ruled reporters do not have absolute constitutional protection from testifying about confidential sources. A special prosecutor is looking into whether a law was broken when CIA officer Valerie Plame's name was leaked. Her name was published by columnist Robert Novak. Miller never wrote a story about Plame, but acknowledged gathering material for one.
