The Miller Case: A Notebook, a Cause, a Jail Cell and a Deal - New York Times
Ms. Miller decided to go to jail to protect the confidentiality of a source who had given her permission to testify a year earlier.
Ms. Wilson's notes indicated that she couldn't even get Plame's name right.
Ms. Wilson doen't recall, nor does she have written records, of the person who suposedly "outed" Plame. Perhaps she elected jail rather than reveal her sloppy record keeping. Do you get a Pulitzer for these kind of notes.
The Times spent millions defending her, for nothing it seems. The Times still wants to try to protect her.
Ms. Wilson, if one believes the news, was not a covert agent at the time, had not been one for 5 years and did not reside in a foreign country. So, "outing" her was not a crime.
So we have a two-year investigation by a special prosecutor covering something that wasn't a crime, a reporter who can't take yes for an answer and then can't remember nor has any record of the details of whom supposedly leaked the information; and the NY Times is supporting her. Rod Serling might have come up with this story but would have shelved it for being too unbelievable.
