Shit eating whore back at work
(JND) - Sources close to former New York Times reporter Judith Miller say that she will return to her desk on Monday, November 7.
Earlier this year, Miller was jailed for contempt of court by refusing to testify before a federal grand jury investigating a leak naming Valerie Plame as
a covert CIA agent. Miller did not write about Plame, but is reportedly in possession of evidence relevant to the leak investigation. According to a subpoena, Miller met with an unnamed government official — later revealed to be "Scooter" Libby, Vice President Cheney's Chief of Staff — on July 8, 2003, two days after former ambassador Joseph Wilson published an Op-Ed in the Times criticizing the Bush administration for "twisting" intelligence to justify war in Iraq.
On September 29, 2005, after spending 85 days in jail, Miller was released after a telephone call with Lewis Libby. He had reaffirmed a release of confidentiality that he had given her a year earlier that she had already known about. She testified at Fitzgerald's Plame Case hearings the following day, September 30th. BBC News Report.
On October 12, 2005 Miller testified, again, before a federal grand jury investigating the leak of a covert CIA agent's identity in the Plame affair. Miller spent more than an hour with the federal panel. The prior day, she turned over to special counsel Patrick Fitzgerald notes from her June 23, 2003, contact with I. Lewis “Scooter” Libby. In a memo to New York Times staff on October 11, 2005, Executive Editor Bill Keller said Miller would return for a second appearance to the grand jury investigating the leak of a CIA agent's identity.
MILLER Bio
Born in New York, Miller grew up in Miami and Los Angeles, where she graduated from Hollywood High School. Her father, Bill Miller, was a Las Vegas entertainment icon. She graduated from Barnard College in 1969 and received a master's degree in public affairs from Princeton University's Woodrow Wilson School of Public and International Affairs. In 1971, while at Princeton, Miller traveled to Jerusalem to research a paper. She became fascinated with the Israeli-Palestinian dispute, and spent the rest of the summer traveling for the first time to Egypt, Jordan and Lebanon.
As a correspondent for The Progressive and National Public Radio, she turned her academic interest into a professional one, traveling to the region and cultivating a network of highly placed sources.
Miller started at the Washington bureau of the New York Times in 1977, part of a new breed of hungry young hires, prodded in part by the sting of the Times losing the Watergate story to Bob Woodward and Carl Bernstein of the Washington Post. She and her boyfriend Steven Rattner, also a Times reporter, became close friends of Arthur Ochs Sulzberger Jr., the son of the then-publisher of the Times, whose first job at the Times, starting in 1978, was also as a reporter of the Washington bureau. For several summers, Miller and Rattner shared a weekend house on the Eastern Shore of Maryland with Sulzberger and his wife, Gail. (Sulzberger would become publisher of the Times in 1992 in his own right.)
In 1983, the Times put her Middle East experience to use by installing her as its Cairo bureau chief, the first woman in that position. The bureau was responsible for covering the Arab world, allowing her to range from Tripoli to Damascus.
In 1987-88, she returned to Washington as the Washington bureau's news editor and deputy bureau chief. In October 1990, Miller was named special correspondent to the Persian Gulf crisis, and after that, the Times' Sunday Magazine's special correspondent.
It has been alleged that in 1986 Miller defamed dictator Muammar al-Qaddafi, widely viewed as having been a major sponsor of terror, in articles she wrote on Libya, allegedly written under the auspices of Admiral John Poindexter of the Reagan administration.
In early 2002, Miller shared in a Pulitzer Prize for Explanatory Reporting, awarded to the New York Times staff for their work profiling "the global terrorism network and the threats it posed."
