Miller 'sorry' for WMD inaccuracies
Judith Miller
Despite apologising Ms Miller insisted she was right to publish
Judith Miller, the US journalist at the heart of the CIA leak probe, has apologised to her readers because her stories about WMD and Iraq turned out to be wrong.

The US journalist, who spent 85 days in prison over the summer before agreeing to give evidence to a grand jury investigating the outing of CIA agent Valerie Plame, made the apology during an exclusive interview for BBC Newsnight.

She said: "I am obviously deeply chagrined that I ever write anything that turns out to be incorrect. I'm deeply sorry that the stories were wrong."

Ms Miller also confirmed that former senior White House aide Lewis "Scooter" Libby was one of her sources who revealed that Ms Plame was employed by the CIA.

Gee golly, Judy, what about the 2100+ US troops and the 100,000+ Iraqi civilians that are dead because of your lies? 'Sorry' just isn't going to cut it. Maybe a little more jail time might be in order?

3. She isn't sorry she wrote bullshit stories
She's just sorry she got found out and fired. (I know she says she resigned but we all know the truth).

6. "Maybe a little more jail time might be in order?"
Or how about smearing her with shit, have attack dogs bite her, and pile her on a naked human pyramid that she helped to create?

An afterthought: Does she have any children that can be sodomized while she watches?

but only after she has had a fair trial at the Hague for her war crimes and is dangling from the end of a rope.

Judith Miller is such a tool. What I can't figure out is how she got her job to begin with - she's not that good a reporter.

20. "sorry" is for when you drop a book in the library -
this is so much much more.

This woman (if I dare call her that) is complicit in the murder of tens of thousands (if not hundreds of thousands) of people.

A cell at the Hague should await her.

21. Tell it to the motherless children, bitch.
Tell it to the armless kids. The women who lost their children to cluster bombs. Have you seen them? Have you heard them wailing? I didn't think so. Well I have. I watch the real news. And let me tell you- it's heartbreaking.
Thanks bitch.

Please, don't make me puke


  • Miller 'sorry' for WMD inaccuracies-BBC News





    She said: "I am obviously deeply chagrined that I ever write anything that turns out to be incorrect. I'm deeply sorry that the stories were wrong."


    I guess she feels really bad about all of the people who have died as well.

    She's part of a conspiracy that has led to the massacre of thousands of people.

    35. Well, maybe if she had actually reported and asked why
    U.S. intelligence was in such disagreement over the WMDs, then maybe she wouldn't have had to have apologized.

    36. "if we didn't know about Iraq, what do we really know about Iran...?"
    Judy, we did know about Iraq. The UN weapons inspectors and the IAEA knew about Iraq. You, however, chose to ignore the facts in order to fabricate a pretense for war.

    That pretty much makes you a war criminal.

    Edited on Wed Nov-30-05 04:59 PM by Ximines-MN
    Judith:

    "I am obviously deeply chagrined that I ever write anything that turns out to be incorrect. I'm deeply sorry that the stories were wrong."

    HUH??

    That's akin to my five-year-old son telling me he's sorry he ate another cookie, he's always sorry whenever he forgets that he already ate a cookie and takes another one by accident.

    Who the hell is she trying to kid?

    The only way I would ever consider forgiving this miscreant is if she owned up to the FACT that her "mistakes" were all self-serving, and that they played a key role in influencing public opininion into going along with an ill-advised war of choice.

    That would be a start. But this crap? She can keep it.

    She ran those stories down her editors' throats, lied about her sources, did everything she could to make sure they ran, even though others had a lot of questions about them at the time. She's a sociopath. Fuck her.

    snip>

    Although Ms Miller apologised for the intelligence being incorrect she defended her journalism saying she was right to publish and had done everything she could to verify the facts. She said: "I'm deeply sorry our intelligence community got it wrong.

    "I am deeply sorry that the President was given a national intelligence estimate which concluded that Saddam Hussein had biological and chemical weapons and a active weapons programme."

    Your apology is unacceptable, therefore stick it.

    Little Ms Run Amok, hob-nobbing with the movers and shakers, rubbing elbows and conspiring to get above the fold over fois gras and chardonnay. Waiter! More column inches for my friend Chalabai!

    You make me sick. Most unfortunately, you make other people dead.

    Fuck you. Fuck you to hell. :mad:

    Sorry you have helped to continue the process of bankrupting the treasury???

    Apology NOT accepted.
