Why did Judith Miller go to jail?

[XNASA]

I mean, if the leak wasn't classified, then what's the problem?

Am I missing something?

[demo dutch]

1. She went to jail and was held in contempt of court for

protecting the identity of her source of the leak

[XNASA]

3. But why did she protect the souce of the leak......

If as the Bushies claim, it had been declassified and out in the open since before she went to jail.

5. Maybe Libby didn't specifically tell her that it was declassified

Principle vs. Politics

... Not that I agree!

[XNASA]

6. Or maybe it wasn't actually declassified?

[demo dutch]

8. "Declassified after the fact" interesting thought

[XNASA]

9. I guess that's what I'm getting at.

[demo dutch]

11. But that would mean that Libby is lying AGAIN "under oath"

making it up as he's fighting for life??

7. Why was there even an investigation if it was declassified? And

why did Fitz phrase things the way he did 3 weeks ago, surely Cheney and the Chimp told him it was declassified when he interviewed them.

10. No I don't think they did

[priller]

2. Because she wouldn't testify to Fitzgerald

It was about protecting her sources.

4. Because she's a piece of shit whore that poses as Journalist

13. She was jailed because of the Plame leak,...

...not the NIE info, despite the fact that she didn't do a story on it, unlike that larger piece of shit Novak, who did publish.
