Journalist Judith Miller never published on the Plame controversy,
but she's being threatened with jail for knowing something about it.
Welcome to America Amigos.
Loss For CIA-Leak Case Reporters
http://www.cbsnews.com/stories/2005/04/19/national/main68954 5.shtml
(AP) Two reporters facing jail for refusing to divulge their sources
about the leak of an undercover CIA officer's name lost on Tuesday in
federal court for the third time.
....
Neither Cooper nor Miller wrote the original story that identified
Plame. Her name was first published in a 2003 column by Robert
Novak, who cited two unidentified senior Bush administration
officials as his sources. It is unclear whether Novak has cooperated
with the investigation or whether the grand jury hearing evidence has
returned any indictments.
The column appeared after Plame's husband, former Ambassador
Joseph Wilson, wrote a newspaper opinion piece criticizing the Bush
administration's claim that Iraq had sought uranium in Niger. The
CIA had asked Wilson to check out the uranium claim. Wilson has
said he believes his wife's name was leaked as retaliation for his
critical comments.
Cooper reported on the Plame controversy. Miller never published a
story about the matter, although she gathered material about Plame.

Well, it does come under the heading of taking an interest in local affairs.

Nothing. You can always tell - Tian puts a coin in the ark when the spam
