Jailed Reporter Is Distanced From News, Not Elite Visitors

By Carol D. Leonnig
Washington Post Staff Writer
Saturday, September 17, 2005; Page A01

<snip> The who's who of friends, supporters and Washington and New York luminaries includes John R. Bolton, President Bush's new ambassador to the United Nations, former NBC Nightly News anchor Tom Brokaw, and former senator Bob Dole (R-Kan). Gonzalo Marroquin, president of the Inter-American Press Society and director of the Guatemalan daily Prensa Libre has been by. <snip>

Judiciary Committee Chairman Arlen Specter (R-Pa.) and Sen. Christopher J. Dodd (D-Conn.) have visited to discuss a federal shield law for reporters protecting their sources. Dole, an old friend, came by before Labor Day with an aide, and later wrote an opinion piece in the New York Times urging her release.

The visitor list also includes people who might be key sources for a reporter who covered terrorism and weapons of mass destruction: Richard Clarke, former White House terrorism adviser under Clinton and Bush and his former aides, Roger Cressey and Lisa Gordon-Haggerty.

Miller also hosted Charles Duelfer, who concluded in 2005 that Iraq had no weapons of mass destruction but uncovered bribes in the U.N's oil-for-food program. Even a former secretary of the navy, Richard Danzig, who now works as a bioterrorism consultant to the Pentagon, came through. <snip>

1. Bolton:
"You gotta keep hushed up, Judy. I am where we planned and it could blow everything if my role in this came out."

5. MSM should show the head of Eugene Armstrong being
chopped off with a dull sword.It took 12 violent hacks at his neck be
fore it fell off.This man sat in a chair,had a sign around his neck
it read,"CIA" in big letters.After Plame's name was released a photo
of Armstrong and Plame at some type of dinner/ball he posed with Ms.
Plame.Bad guys overseas saw the picture kidnapped Armstrong and cut
off his head.
That's some list of visitors.I bet she eats caviar has a computer,
cable TV with Tivo,her own cell and is pampered like a Queen unlike
Susan Mc,Dougald she was hand-cuffed with leg irons paraded in front
on many media's in an orange jumpsuit wow ! but not our traitor' Judy
she has protection from the "Fuehur"the Bush Crime Family.
Judy could rot in jail i'm going to watch Bill Mahar..
