15. Exactly. Deep Throat was exposing a crime
as most anonymous sources, whistle blowers and the like. Whoever gave the information about Plame to journalists was COMMITTING the crime, and that is why journalistic privilege shouldn't apply here.

Nofacts has already talked. They're looking for corroborating witnesses at this point. Miller has little to gain by protecting her White House informant. She's so tainted now that even access won't be easy for her to get.

I'm usually standing firmly on the right of a journalist to protect a source, but not in this case. I wouldn't want them protecting serial killers or grand scale thieves, either.

Miller will be damned lucky if she and her right wing gasbag friends aren't all charged as accessories.
