Judith Miller (Big US News Item)

Yahwe and I had a discussion about this and I had been critical of her, but Yahwe insisted she was a hero. After listening to his points, I was inclined to agree, but then after reading several more stories including this one:

http://www.slate.com/id/2128429/?nav=fix

I have com to think of Judith Miller as nothing more than a careerist right wing loon that fabricated news stories, lied to investigators, and broke her own promises to protect her source.

Yahwe said that American prisons are terrible and that it wouldnt be enough of an incentive (advance her career) to make a prison stay bearible (and I agreed with that), but I think there's more to it. She wasn't trying to just advance her career, she was trying to salvage it altogether.

She fabricated stories about WMD based on 'bunk evidence' (so, I think, she collaborated with high officials (Scooter Libby) in the Bush administration to portray the justification of the war in a twisted and untruthful way). Here are some of her stories:

Dec. 20, 2001, story "An Iraqi Defector Tells of Work on at Least 20 Hidden Weapons Sites"

http://select.nytimes.com/gst/abstra...AB0994D9404482

"Defectors Bolster U.S. Case Against Iraq, Officials Say" (Jan. 24, 2003)

http://select.nytimes.com/gst/abstra...A80894DB404482

"U.S. Says Hussein Intensifies Quest for A-Bomb Parts," (Sept 8, 2002, co-authored by Michael R. Gordon)

http://query.nytimes.com/gst/health/...5AC0A9649C8B63

Dec. 3, 2002, story "C.I.A. Hunts Iraq Tie to Soviet Smallpox"

http://query.nytimes.com/gst/health/...51C1A9649C8B63

April 21, 2003, blockbuster "Illicit Arms Kept Till Eve of War, an Iraqi Scientist Is Said to Assert."

http://select.nytimes.com/gst/abstra...AD0894DB404482

Nov. 12, 2002, "Iraq Said To Try To Buy Antidote Against Nerve Gas."

http://newsmine.org/archive/war-on-t...e-antidote.txt

Apparently Miller has been entirely discredited by her own company: "the paper effectively ended Miller's career as a serious journalist last Sunday by portraying her as a newsroom loon and weapons-grade egomaniac."

or/and

b) a useful idiot

Like anyone in politics is to be trusted. They all have their own agenda's, more agenda's on other people and even more given certain circumstances.
