"What would Miller’s angle be?," Huffington asked: "I helped the bad guys sell a bogus war In 2004 it was revealed that led to tens of thousands she was one of deaths, then went to jail to protect my neocon pals?"

Tate said October 3----==Miller and the Outing of Valerie Plame ==In August 2004, Miller was subpoenaed by a Washington grand jury, headed by U.S. Attorney [[Patrick J.

Fitzgerald had been investigating three [[Islam]]ic charities accused of supporting [[terrorism]] -- the [[Holy Land Foundation]], the [[Global Relief Foundation]], and the [[Benevolence International Foundation]]. But just before his investigators could swoop in with warrants [on December 14, 2001], two of the charities in question got wind of what was coming and, apparently, 2005were able to destroy a good deal of evidence. "What tipped them off were calls from two reporters at the ''New York Times'' who'd been leaked information about the investigation by folks at the White House.

However, "Fitzgerald was pissed and apparently went after them very aggressively -- and this for a case in which," he was told, "there really wasn't much to go after," which "might be something to keep in mind when figuring how the Plame investigation might play out."

Hogan sentenced Miller to 18 months imprisonment but she remained free until an appeal was heard. Her appeal to the [[Supreme Court]] was unsuccessful.  In July 2005, after ''Time'' magazine reporter [[Matthew Cooper]] agreed to testify about his sources, Miller was jailed for the duration of the grand jury investigation. [http://www.timesonline.co.uk/article/0,,11069-1684127,00.html]  While major journalism groups held Miller up as a defender of the right of journalists to protect their sources, others viewed her attorneys are responsible for actions more sceptically.

'''Miller Testified September 30, 2005'''<br>

=="New" Strange Tale of Miller and Special Prosecutor Fitzgerald - Part 1& the Military==On April 6, 2004, [http://www.talkingpointsmemo.com/archives/week_2004_04_04.php#002807 Josh Marshall reported] how U.S. Attorney Patrick Fitzgerald of Chicago "had quite aggressively investigated another Bush White House leak in late 2001 and early 2002. Fitzgerald had been investigating three [[Islam]]ic charities accused of supporting terrorism -- the [[Holy Land Foundation]], the [[Global Relief Foundation]], and the [[Benevolence International Foundation]]. But just before his investigators could swoop in with warrants [December 14, 2001], two of the charities in question got wind of what was coming and, apparently, were able to destroy a good deal of evidence.
Miller "What tipped them off were calls from two reporters at the New York Times whoacted as a 'middleman'd been leaked information about between an American military unit and the investigation by folks at [[Iraqi National Congress]] while she was [[embedded]] with the White HouseU.S. armed forces searching for [[weapons of mass destruction]] in [[Iraq]] in April 2003, and 'took custody' of [[Saddam Hussein]]'s son-in-law, one of 55 most wanted Iraqis," ''The Raw Story'' [http://rawstory.com/news/2005/Judith_Miller_acted_as_middleman_between_1018.html reported] October 18, 2005.
Miller also "One sat in on the initial debriefing of those two reporters was Judy Miller." The other was New York Times reporter Philip Shenon. Jamal Sultan Tikriti, according to a [http://www.tpmcafewashingtonpost.com/storyac2/2005wp-dyn/7/7/1148/62336A28385-2003Jun24?language=printer June 25, 2003 article published in the ''Washington Post''].
Marshall"The ''Post''s point article sheds some light on her unusual arrangement in April 2004 wasn't that "obtaining a special security clearance from the [[Department of Defense]] which is now the White House did something else wrongsubject of a Democratic congressional inquiry. On Monday, [October 17," in fact2005, he wrote] Reps. [[John Conyers]] and [[Ira Skelton]], he was "told that in this case the White ranking Democrats on the House really hadn't done anything improper at allJudiciary and Armed Services committees sent Defense Secretary [[Donald Rumsfeld]] a letter demanding an explanation to Miller’s top secret security clearance, which Rumsfeld reportedly personally authorized."
However, ''The Raw Story'' said that the "Fitzgerald ''Post'' article (see below) raises an important question about her role in the outing of a covert CIA agent: was pissed and apparently went after them very aggressively -- and this for a case in whichMiller," he whose flawed reporting on the existence of WMD’s was told, "there really wasn't much to go afterscrutinized in mainstream newspapers," which "might be something to keep truly meeting with Libby in mind when figuring how the Plame investigation might play hopes of pursuing a hot story or was she trying to get information out.of him that would help restore her credibility and cover up her errors?" [http://www.talkingpointsmemo.com/archives/week_2004_04_04.php#002807]
==Miller and the Gulf Wars==
 
During the first U.S.-led war in the Persian Gulf, Miller co-wrote a book with [[Laurie Mylroie]], titled ''Saddam Hussein and the Crisis in the Gulf''.
Miller and Mylroie have both been clients of [[Eleana Benador]], whose PR firm has represented many leading pro-war figures that have appeared prominently on television and in other public venues. She has also worked closely and uncritically with [[Ahmed Chalabi]], the head of the [[Iraqi National Congress]], in developing her reports on [[Iraq]]. In a May 2003 e-mail message, Miller stated that Chalabi "has provided most of the front page exclusives on [alleged ] Iraqi [[weapons of mass destruction]]] to our paper."
Miller played an important role in promoting the presidential team's [[Bush doctrine|agenda on Iraq]]. Indeed, she wrote the first article, entitled «Threats and Responses : The Iraqis ; U.S. Says Hussein Intensifies Quest for A-Bomb Parts», on [[Saddam Hussein]]'s WMD programme, mentioning "aluminium tubes" which could be used for [[nuclear weapons]]. That was on September 7, less than two weeks after Vice-President [[Dick Cheney]] delivered the first speech in which he presented Iraq as Washington's next target. [http://www.whitehouse.gov/news/releases/2002/08/20020826.htmlspeech]in which he presented Iraq as Washington's next target. It is therefore possible to think that she played a role in the public relations campaign that was led by the [[Bush administration]] on Iraq, directed by [[Andrew H. Card, Jr.]].
In June 2003, ''Washington Post'' reporter Howard Kurtz noted that "Miller played a highly unusual role in an Army unit assigned to search for dangerous Iraqi weapons, according to U.S. military officials, prompting criticism that the unit was turned into what one official called a 'rogue operation.' More than a half-dozen military officers said that Miller acted as a middleman between the Army unit with which she was [[embedded]] and Iraqi National Congress leader Ahmed Chalabi, on one occasion accompanying Army officers to Chalabi's headquarters, where they took custody of Saddam Hussein's son-in-law. She also sat in on the initial debriefing of the son-in-law, these sources say. Since interrogating Iraqis was not the mission of the unit, these officials said, it became a 'Judith Miller team,' in the words of one officer close to the situation." [http://www.washingtonpost.com/ac2/wp-dyn/A28385-2003Jun24?language=printer]
The links of Judith Miller with the [[Pentagon]] are not new. In 1986, she wrote numerous articles on [[Libya]], thus contributing to a massive disinformation campaign on [[Muammar Gaddafi|Khadafi]] which was coordinated by Admiral [[John Poindexter]]. [[Bob Woodward]] has written a major article in the Washington Post on this strategy.
