Judge Lifts Contempt of Court Citation for Miller mediainfo.com NEW YORK - Judith Miller's second appearance before the grand jury probing the Plame/CIA leak case on Wednesday lasted only a little more than an hour but it was enough to earn a judge's order releasing The New York Times reporter from the contempt-of-court citation that landed her in jail. The order was still in place until her testimony was complete. Besides liberating Miller, it also means The New York Times can no longer cite that order as a roadblock to keep it from presenting a full accounting of related matters. "I am delighted that the contempt order has been lifted, and Judy is now completely free to go about her great reporting as a very principled and honorable reporter," said Robert Bennett, one of Miller's attorneys. Bill Keller, executive editor of the Times, had said in a letter to newsroom staffers on Tuesday that once Ms. Miller's "obligations to the grand jury are fulfilled, we intend to write the most thorough story we can...." He also criticized "armchair critics" and those who had spread rumors and "myths" about the case. A New York Times spokeswoman told E&P the paper had no comment about Wednesday's proceedings and would not say when any major article would appear. That leaves Karl Rove, the White House, to testify this week, for the fourth time. Thursday appears to be the likely date and Fitzgerald may move quickly after that to produce indictments.
