Having a hard time figuring out how criminal contempt feels different than civil contempt. Other than the obvious, in civil contempt you can get out by doing what the judge tells you do to. Wouldn't criminal contempt run counterproductive to that goal?

I guess they could bring out the cat-of-nine-tails and the thumbscrews? Send her to Gitmo? ;^)

Lawyers in the CIA leaks investigation are concerned that special prosecutor Patrick J. Fitzgerald may seek criminal contempt charges against New York Times reporter Judith Miller, a rare move that could significantly lengthen her time in jail.


This only makes sense to me if Miller was the original leaker and Fitzgerald has a huge grudge against her, which we know he does.
