Ms. Miller has written four books and contributed chapters to several others. Her most recent book is “Germs: Biological Weapons and America’s Secret War.” (Simon & Schuster) Written with two colleagues from The Times, the book topped the best seller‘s list. Her previous book, “God Has Ninety-Nine Names,” also published by Simon & Schuster in 1996, explores the spread of Islamic extremism in ten Middle Eastern countries, including Israel and Iran. She is also the author of “One, By One, By One,” a highly praised account of how people in six nations have distorted the memory of the Holocaust, also published by Simon & Schuster in 1990. In 1990, she co-authored “Saddam Hussein and the Crisis in the Gulf,” the first comprehensive account of the Gulf crisis and biography of the man behind it. That, too, was a best seller which topped The Times Best Seller list during the 1991 Gulf war.
Judith Miller was part of a small team that won the
Pulitzer Prize for “explanatory journalism” for her 2001 series on Osama bin Laden and Al Qaeda. In September, 2002, she won an
Emmy for her work on a Nova/New York Times documentary based on articles for her book, “Germs.” She was also part of the Times team that won the prestigious DuPont award in 2002 for a series of tv programs on terrorism for Frontline. She appears as an expert on Middle Eastern and national security on such national news and public affairs shows as 'Sixty Minutes,' Oprah Winfrey, CNN, ABC's 'Night Line' and 'Good Morning America,' The Today Show, David Letterman, and The Charlie Rose Show. She lectures on the Middle East, Islam, national security, and terrorism.

New York Times reporter Judith Miller has played a key role in promoting both U.S. wars against Iraq.
During the first U.S.-led war in the Persian Gulf, Miller co-wrote a book with Laurie Mylroie, titled Saddam Hussein and the Crisis in the Gulf.
Miller and Mylroie have both been clients of Eleana Benador, whose PR firm has represented many leading pro-war figures that have appeared prominently on television and in other public venues. She has also worked closely and uncritically with Ahmed Chalabi, the head of the Iraqi National Congress, in developing her reports on Iraq. In a May 2003 e-mail message, Miller stated that Chalabi "has provided most of the front page exclusives on
to our paper."
Miller played an important role in promoting the presidential team's agenda on Iraq. Indeed, she wrote the first article, entitled «Threats and Responses : The Iraqis ; U.S. Says Hussein Intensifies Quest for A-Bomb Parts», on Saddam Hussein's WMD programme, mentionning "aluminium tubes" which could be uses for nuclear weapons. That was on September 7, less than two weeks after Vice-President Dick Cheney delivered the first speech in which he presented Iraq as Washington's next target. <1>. It is therefore possible to think that she played a role in the public relations campaign that was led by the Bush administration on Iraq, directed by Andrew Card.
In June 2003, Washington Post reporter Howard Kurtz noted that "Miller played a highly unusual role in an Army unit assigned to search for dangerous Iraqi weapons, according to U.S. military officials, prompting criticism that the unit was turned into what one official called a 'rogue operation.' More than a half-dozen military officers said that Miller acted as a middleman between the Army unit with which she was embedded and Iraqi National Congress leader Ahmed Chalabi, on one occasion accompanying Army officers to Chalabi's headquarters, where they took custody of Saddam Hussein's son-in-law. She also sat in on the initial debriefing of the son-in-law, these sources say. Since interrogating Iraqis was not the mission of the unit, these officials said, it became a 'Judith Miller team,' in the words of one officer close to the situation."<2>
The links of Judith Miller with the Pentagon are not new. In 1986, she wrote numerous of articles on Libya, thus contributing to a massive disinformation campaign on Khadafi which was coordinated by Admiral Poindexter. Bob Woodward has written a major article in the Washington Post on this strategy.
