OIC so Scooter Libby gave up Judith Miller who didn't even write a column about the whole mess. On top of that, Scooter doesn't care if Miller sleeps on the floor of a cell as long as he gets away with whatever illegal thing he did. Gee, the Bush administration has such 'gentlemen' in it.

It all sounds like a coordinated operation coming out of the white house to discredit wilson and get a little pay back in the process. From what I've read, typical Bush.

By saying that they learned the information from reporters, the stakes are dramatically raised for the two White House aides: If it turns out that it can be shown that they learned the information from a classified source, such as the State Department memo, they could be in legal jeopardy for disclosing classified information. And if they misled investigators or the federal grand jury on that question, that trouble could be compounded. The one person with some of the answers as to whether Libby is telling the truth very well may be Judith Miller. But she currently is incarcerated in an Alexandria jail. Lewis Libby appears to have the ability to ascertain Miller’s release by simply signing a specific, personal waiver that she disclose what she knows. But Libby does not appear to be willing to do that. And the president of the United States -- at whose pleasure Libby serves and who has vowed to do everything possible to get to the truth of the matter -- does not appear to be likely to direct Libby to grant such a waiver any time soon. So, President Bush could issue a statement tomorrow noting his instructions to all members of his administration to "cooperate fully" with the investigation. This would cover personal releases as well as general releases......a no brainer, don't you think?
