Judith Miller in the tank

We always knew she was in the tank for the bushies... but now she may be for real: "A federal judge held a reporter in contempt Thursday for refusing to divulge confidential sources to prosecutors investigating the leak of an undercover CIA officer's identity.

U.S. District Judge Thomas F. Hogan ordered New York Times reporter Judith Miller jailed until she agrees to testify about her sources before a grand jury, but said she could remain free while pursuing an appeal. Miller could be jailed up to 18 months."


One has to wonder why she is going to jail and Novak isn't, since Novak is the one who spread the leak in his column. Perhaps Miller was carrying water for the bushies and is the one who spread the leak to Novak (and other reporters) to begin with?
