Judith Miller is the NY Times reporter who broke a lot of the prewar stories that turned out to be Neocon lies. Interesting account of her trip to Iraq: <<< Miller, an expert on national security issues who has a hearty relationship with Iraqi National Congress leader Ahmed Chalabi, was allowed to accompany an Army unit searching for Iraqi weapons. In fact, she acted as a middleman between the unit and Chalabi, sitting in on an interrogation of Iraqi prisoners at Chalabi's headquarters which the unit was not assigned to do and which caused some to label it the "Judith Miller Unit". Further, when the Army commander threatened to withdraw the unit, Miller told him not to, suggesting that she'd write about it unflatteringly in the New York Times. The order to withdraw was dropped. All this led one officer to call the unit that Miller was embedded with a "rogue operation". Another officer commented: "this woman came in with a plan. She was leading them. . . . She ended up almost hijacking the mission." Another senior officer added: "It's impossible to exaggerate the impact she had on the mission of this unit, and not for the better." >>> counterpunch.org Tom
