Judy Does Orwell Proud

Proud, proud, proud... Judith Miller just about spins her head in circles:

I didn't want to be in jail, but I knew that the principle of confidentiality was so important that I had to, because if people can't trust us to come to us to tell us the things that government and powerful corporations don't want us to know, we're dead in the water. The public won't know... That's why I was sitting in jail. For the public's right to know.

That makes no sense at all. Miller was in jail for telling the public (or at least helping to tell the public) exactly what the government (and powerful corporations) did want people to be told. She was their willing stooge. And if she is not pissed at that, it's because she is totally complicit in spreading their lies.

Miller also offers this caveat:

Let's wait and see what Mr. Fitzgerald has. If he brings indictments, if he has a very serious case, then I might have to say that perhaps his zealousness with respect to this mission was justified. But if he doesn't have anything, I will wonder about why I had to spend 85 days in jail and why I may be the only one to spend time in jail...

What's that? A get out of jail free card for Miller's conscience?
