"True. It seems to be a combination of Miller being cut a lot of slack because she had access and good sources, and Miller being sucked into orbit around her sources. So her sources wound up playing her, and Miller and the NYT didn't realize it. And being idealogues instead of pragmatics, her sources over-reached."

I don't think it was so "lucky". Miller first ingratiated herself to the neocons during Iran-Contra. Since several of the Iran-Contra boys are now in the chimpistration, it's a natural she became their mouthpiece at the Times. Don't forget that Bush Sr. pardoned the whole Iran-Contra indicted crew. The fact that both she and her husband are good friends with Sulzberger the publisher sheilded her from the editors, a fact they dare not mention.

It's really yet to be determined if Miller was a dupe or a willing participant in the Neocon disinformation campaign.
