As with Larry Johnson's detailed timeline on Plame/WMD and all the Bush neoconster regime lies regarding Iraq, David Fiderer provides the type of analysis that needs to be widely shared.

Every journalist who cheerleaded the war should spend some time behind bars.:grr:

Through all of this, I have not noticed anything that disuades me from my opinion that she she's not protecting anyone, rather that she is promoting herself. I suppose that's a form of protection, but from a different perspective. Miller is getting an incredible amount of attention and has been since this all started. Her incarceration sets up opportunities for book deals, exclusive interviews, and all sorts of things that will advance her career or fill her bank account no matter what happens to her or anyone with whom she is associated legally.

Her comments, and more specifically her presentation and apperance after her release just emphasize this for me. This is a career move.

Could it her (and Coopers) reasons had more to do with stalling the Grand Jury? If Miller and Cooper had not fallen back on their rights as "journalists" to protect their sources the GJ may have come down with indictments a year ago, just in time for the '04 elections.

She was protecting herself. She was told that she might be spending another 3 months or up to a year in jail if she did not testify. Also, a deal was struck that she would not have to answer any other questions except those pertaining to Libby. That was what she was waiting for. A month from now she won't be big news. Then in a few months her book will come out. If indictements come down her book will not a big seller.
