Judith Miller and the New York Times are protecting Judith Miller and the New York Times – not the First Amendment. The real story here is that the Plame conspiracy originated with Miller. It was Miller who gave the administration insiders the information about Plame and gave them pointers on how to leak it to certain journalists like Novak. No doubt, her moves were coordinated with the usual suspects in the neo-con cabal who toiled with her on the WMD scam and had access to Valerie Plame’s secret identity. Richard Perle and company wrote the book on the ‘Art of the Leak.’ That also helps explain why Miller didn’t write the story. She was the source and one of the masterminds behind the Plame game. Rove and other administration officials who joined the games were just middlemen in the transaction. Miller isn’t protecting her source – she is protecting her conduits and fellow conspirators in the administration. The trick in playing the Plame game is to keep your eye on the bouncing ball. It was thrown by Miller – bounced off Rove’s bald head and landed in Novak’s empty skull. usa.mediamonitors.net No one is suggesting that Sulzberger or Miller should be deprived of the right to advocate total war – all the time. That’s what the First Amendment is all about. But neither Sulzberger nor Miller has a right to market their war by conspiring to commit a felony against a legitimate whistle blower. The First Amendment is not an immunity blanket for criminals. You do the crime – you do the time. Lock them both up and throw away the keys.
