The obstruction on this case is coming from the White House. At the start, Bush commanded everyone to cooperate, now the admin is stonewalling. He could easily command every WH employee to provide a full waiver or be fired. Well I don't know enough of the details to agree or disagree. I don't know whether her source has refused to offer a waiver, or whether she has even requested one. Frankly, I don't really understand why a women is in jail for not revealing the source for an article which she didn't ever publish. But I guess that's not why she is in jail; she's in jail for refusing to answer Grand Jury questions under subpeona, right? She thinks that because she is a reporter, she doesn't have to answer said questions, even though non-reporters would have to answer them, right? So she's in jail due to her decision to violate the law and not answer questions under subpeona. The article I referenced to you was about changing that law. After it is changed (if it is change), the point will be moot. Under present law, she's in jail because of her actions, not GB's. If you blame Bush for Miller's situation, you are playing into the view that Miller is not responsible for her own decisions (not to answer). I can't buy into that view - she made her decision and she bares the responsibility for it, not GB.
