RAW STORY:Leave of Absence for Miller



New York Times reporter Judith Miller, who spent 85 days in jail protecting her source in the recent CIA leak investigation, will take an indefinite leave of absence effective immediately.

"Judy is going to take some time off until we decide what she is doing next," Times' spokesperson Catherine Mathis told RAW STORY Saturday afternoon.

RAW STORY spoke with Miller by telephone at the New York Times newsroom in Washington Friday evening. She said that she had not previously been questioned about her plans going forward, and deferred extended comment to her publicist.

1. Isn't it amazing
that a reporter has a publicist. Guess we know what story she really wants to pursue.

3. Times Exec Editor Bill Keller needs a leave of absence too--a PERMANENT
one.

Keller succeeded progressive executive editor Howell Raines after Jayson Blair's false stories were exposed. Why shouldn't Keller be forced out too?

Nobody DIED because of Blair's fabrications. But Judy Miller's lies--condoned and covered up by Keller--have led to hundreds of thousands of deaths.
