| Cat in a tin foil hat, part troix |
I turned away from the Lionel Show for just a moment at the end on Saturday, and caught part of the Laura Flanders show. Her guest host had on Daniel Ellsberg of Pentagon Papers fame, and he threw out this interesting bit of tin foil relating to jailed Dame Judy Miller. Use it wisely, and only under the supervision of a medical professional.
In October, 1977, famed Watergate reporter Carl Bernstein wrote a piece for Rolling Stone in which he described the CIA's collusion with more than 400 American journalists over the course of decades, with the most fruitful relationship being between the agency and the New York Times. Ellsberg found it curious that Miller, who covers the WMD and intel beats for the times, and who therefore has a tight sourcing relationship with agencies like the NSC, the Pentagon and the like, has been so willing to go to jail to protect her ... er ... sources. (Caveat, the leak investigation came from a CIA request/demand, so it's unlikely that she would be so handled). But it is interesting that Miller is now being parried about as not just a mere witness in the Plame Affair, but a possible participant... Here's the Bernstein article, just for fun.
More fun with journo spies from the ultimate mad Hatters at Unknown News...
