Judith Miller Heads to Jail

Reporter Judith Miller of The New York Times has been sentence to jail for refusing to name her source in the Plamegate scandal. Prosecuting attorney Patrick Fitzgerald demanded that Miller divulge the name of the source that told her that Valerie Plame, wife of Ambassador Joseph Wilson, was actually an undercover CIA agent. Whoever the government employee was who leaked the name is probably facing serious felony charges for outing a CIA operative. But Miller's not talking. Speculation in Washington, D.C. says that the leaker is Karl Rove, whose attorney denies it. So Miller sits in jail while the grand jury continues questioning witnesses.

Michael Kinsley, opinion editor of the L.A. Times discusses his personal opinion on the Miller case in an editorial for The Washington Post.
