I, swag, admit to being conflicted about Judith Miller, given her loathsome stenographic (or complicit) "reporting" in the run-up to the war and her apparent coziness with Cheney's inner circle, yet her incarceration for standing by a journalistic principle/right/responsibility on the other hand (and I'm conflicted about whether to be conflicted on this).

And now this:

NEW YORK On the same day that the U.S. Supreme Court declined to hear Judith Miller's appeal of a contempt-of-court order for refusing to name a confidential source, The New York Times reporter launched her own Web site, www.judithmiller.org, which she contends will help her publicize the case.

"It is supposed to call attention to the case," Miller told E&P Tuesday morning via cell phone as she was rushing to the office. "I put it up starting yesterday. It will help bring attention to the case and the issues that the case raises."

Web designer Joshua Tanzer, who is operating the site for Miller pro bono, said it might even became home to a jail-based blog of sorts if Miller is put behind bars. "Part of the plan if she is in jail is to write about what she is going through," Tanzer told E&P. Miller said she had not considered such an idea, but added, "anything's possible."
