Judith Miller, hack
I have very mixed feelings about The New York Times' Judith Miller being sent to jail for contempt. It's very important to support 1st Amendment rights. I'm not at all sure whether Miller and The Times have a 1st Amendment case or not, since she never wrote the story nor is she being asked to reveal her source in public - just to the grand jury.
One thing I AM sure about, though. Miller may or may not be in contempt, but her stenography (it can't be called journalism) on behalf of Ahmed Chalabi was contemptible.
