Outrage, why? Judith Miller made a choice to disobey a direct order of a court of law. No one twisted her arm, no one forced her to make the decision she made. The law, right or wrong, is a moot point. Until the law is changed, it is still the law. She is not above the law and must now face the consequences of her choices. The consequences of that choice is going to jail.

Well...yes, the law is the law is the law. But it seems to me that a law that has Judy pining away in jail for NOT writing a story given to her by a source she won't identify while Rove -- who leaked the classified information (this was illegal, but I notice he aint raking his cup along the jailhouse bars while his cellmate toots on a mouth organ) and Novak -- who wrote about it and who has NEVER revealed his source (my gosh, seems the same law was broken here, yet, he's not in the pokey either!) -- is fundamentally flawed.

Everyone here, including you, Mr. Roberts, is leaping to the conclusion that she is protecting Karl Rove. How do you know that is who she is protecting? If Karl Rove has already acknowledged his role in this matter and released anyone to whom he confided to testify, then why is Judith Miller willing to go to prison to protect him? And, why would anyone at The New York Times give a fat rip about protecting Karl Rove anyway? Umm, perhaps, Judith Miller is protecting someone else who leaked information? You think? I wonder who that might be, someone at the CIA?

While we are discussing scandals, why hasn't the News-Record had some discussion and investigation into the Able Danger matter? Is it because it implicates members of the Clinton Administration for negligence? Why did the 911 Commission disregard this matter in their report? And, is there a possible connection of this matter to Sandy Burger's criminal removal of secret papers before testifying before the commission? There are many questions to be asked here, and no one at this media outlet seems interested in getting any answers. If we want to discuss national security concerns, it seems that this one had sigificiant impact upon it.

Sorry Bluto, I drew no such conclusions. I simply stated what the law is and what failure to obey the law brings as consequences.

Gov. I don't beleive anyone,except Ms. Miller, that you mentioned has been ordered by a judge in a court of law, at least not at this point, to reveal anything. Therfore the law in this matter is correct. When the others are ordered by a court of law to reveal information and fail to do so , then they too should be jailed.Until then an opinion of who has or what law has been broken for what ever reason is just that, an opinion. My opinion, nor the opinion of anyone else on the matter of law matters. It remains a matter of "this is the law" and the law has spoken.

Yep, let's look at it in black and white as all issues are black and white (right and wrong) and there are never any gray areas, such as, why hasn't Novak, who wrote about it and subsequently started the ball rolling on this whole mess, been arrested or jailed or ordered to reveal his source? WHY are they pressing/focusing on Judy Miller at all? Why does it matter what the identity is of the person who told her something she never wrote about in the first place?? Why is Miller being ordered to reveal her source but not Novak, who actually wrote about it? Why is Carl Rove, who has admitted he revealed the information, not being charged by the legal system, if sharing the information is wrong? And if they have decided that he didn't commit a crime, then why is it a crime for Miller not to reveal who told her the information? These are the questions we should be asking, these are the reasons we should be outraged, in my opinion.
