" All the news fit to print", is the N.Y. Times logo. Judith Miller, according to former N.Y. Times investigative editor Douglas Frantz, called herself " Miss Run Amok", because she said, " I can do whatever I want.". Is the Times logo mutually exclusive with Miller's self-discription. No. But there is another saying, " Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice , shame on me". Miller fooled her readers at least twice. First, the Libby-sourced bogus Iraq WMD stories. Second by exposing her ethical lapses by continuing to talk to Libby and the role she and Libby played in Plamegate..
Why is the N.Y. Times standing by a non-credible reporter? Cui bono-who benefited from bogus WMD information in Iraq? Who benefited from outing Plame? Cheney, Rumsfeld, Wolfowitz, Feith and others ran foreign policy. Bush doesn't count. Cheney/Rumsfeld want American empire. Bogus WMD info and the follow-up police action of Plamegate are a means to that end. Wolfowitz/Feith were the Zionists/Likudniks in the Pentagon. Israel was their concern. Another redrawing of the Middle East map was a security move for Israel's flank. That's where the Times backing of Miller makes sense. It's not about accurate news. It's about an agenda in the Middle East.
