Six Stories

Judy Miller says that only six of her stories were based on questionable reporting. I’ll have to remember that. By my count, there are way more than six that are totally full of shit, just in her war reporting (and watch out, because I’m looking back at her famous aluminum tubes story–something to look forward to in 2006). But now I will always look at her stories and wonder whether she considers that particular story one of her flawed six.

"Is this one of the ones that even Judy believes to be beyond the pale? How does Judy Miller judge shit?"

But that’s not why I’m interested in Judy’s recent appearance on Nightline. I’m more interested in a puzzle Jane has raised about Judy’s comments specific to the Plame Affair.

Digging through Old Articles…

Steven Clemons asks a question many of us (not least Swopa) have been asking for two years. Who is the SAO in the WaPo’s September 28 article?

But Jeff has gotten me re-examining an even more intriguing article, the October 12 WaPo article the followed up and elaborated on the earlier WaPo article.This article is interesting because while it largely aligns with what we know from Libby’s indictment, it also suggests there is a lot more right under the surface. The article is sourced to "sources familiar with the probe" (Wilson appears to have been interviewed, the famous SAO from the September 28 article was interviewed again, and someone from CIA was interviewed). Here are some random interesting tidbits from the article.
