Miller testimony contradicts Libby story By MICHAEL J. SNIFFEN, Associated Press Writer WASHINGTON - Reporter Judith Miller testified Tuesday that former vice presidential aide I. Lewis "Scooter" Libby identified a CIA operative to her on two occasions on dates earlier than he has told investigators he first heard the name from another reporter. Miller, the former New York Times reporter who spent 85 days in jail trying to avoid revealing these conversations, said Libby identified the wife of a prominent Iraq war critic as a CIA employee in face-to-face meetings on June 23 and July 8, 2003.

"Terrorists just want to end the lives of as many people as possible." Some of them like McVeigh do, I think, want to inflict as much damage on others as is humanly possible. I think some CEOs want this as well. Sociopathy takes many forms IMO. Others terrorists see it as a cheap and successful (about 50% of the time) military tactic against a much bigger and well-financed enemy sitting on some piece of disputed lang. I really think we have to understand this much better or we're doomed to constantly be at war for basically no reason. Every time I hear about global warming (permafrost melting creating drunken forests, chunks of mountains and ice shelves breaking off, methane bubbling up from the ocean floor, etc.) the news always seems much more alarming than expected. I can't tell if that's the media -- if it bleeds, it leads -- or if things are accelerating towards a balmy climate.
