Supreme Court Turns Down N.Y. Times in Leak Case 1010 WINS, November 27, 2006 WASHINGTON (AP) -- The Supreme Court ruled against The New York Times on Monday, refusing to block the government from reviewing telephone records of two Times reporters in a leak investigation concerning a terrorism-funding probe. The one-sentence order came in a First Amendment battle that involves stories written in 2001 by Times reporters Judith Miller and Philip Shenon. The stories revealed the government's plans to freeze the assets of two Islamic charities, the Holy Land Foundation and the Global Relief Foundation. Original article Posted by Judith Miller | November 29, 2006 Justice Department Asks Supreme Court Not to Block Government from Reviewing Phone Records The International Herald Tribune, November 25, 2006 WASHINGTON (AP) — The Justice Department on Saturday asked the Supreme Court to refrain from stepping into another constitutional free speech battle featuring federal prosecutor Patrick Fitzgerald and The New York Times. The case involves a leak probe by Fitzgerald to track down the confidential sources of Times reporters Judith Miller and Philip Shenon for stories in 2001. Miller, who spent 85 days in jail in 2005 in connection with Fitzgerald's separate CIA leak probe in the Valerie Plame case, retired from the newspaper a year ago.

Original article Posted by Judith Miller | November 25, 2006 Judy Speaks at Creighton Law School >> Freedom of the Press Post 9/11 Omaha, NE — On November 15th, Judy spoke at Creighton University's School of Law on "Freedom of the Press Post 9/11" — part of its public lecture series. "I believe leaking, on balance, is a healthy and self-correcting mechanism in our democracy ... Confidential sources are the lifeblood of journalism," Judy said. Other speakers in Creighton's 2006-07 program include Harvard University School of Law Professor Charles Ogletree on "Race and the Death Penalty," The University of Chicago School of Law's Geoffrey Stone on "Civil Liberties in Wartime," and Peter Hurtgen, former Chair of the National Labor Relations Board and Director of the Federal Mediation and Conciliation Service, on "Workplace Conflict in a New Economy."

Times reporter decries Bush policies Liberties suffer, secrecy grows, reporter tells K-State crowd By Jan Biles The Capital-Journal MANHATTAN — Judith Miller, a former New York Times investigative reporter who went to jail to protect a confidential source, said the balance between national security and civil liberties has been tipped, allowing the Bush administration to become secretive about its decisions, intrusive into public lives and reluctant to share information the public has a right to know. Miller said many Americans don't understand how their access to information and the freedom of the press have been affected in the past few years. "We are less free and less safe," she said, explaining that there is a "growing secrecy in the name of national security." Original article Posted by Judith Miller | November 14, 2006 Commentary: The Weekend Interview -- Kurdistan's President Massoud Barzani The Wall Street Journal, October 28, 2006; Page A6 By JUDITH MILLER ERBIL, Iraq -- Unlike Baghdad, 200 miles away, the air here does not echo with the sound of gunfire, car bombs and helicopters. Residents of this city of a million people picnic by day in pristine new parks and sip tea with friends and relatives at night. American forces are not "occupiers" or the "enemy," but "liberators." Mentioning President Bush evokes smiles -- and not of derision. American forces were "most welcome" when stationed here at the start of the invasion of Iraq, says Massoud Barzani, the president of Kurdistan in the north. Not a single U.S. soldier was killed in his region, he adds proudly, "not even in a traffic accident." Would U.S. forces be welcome back now? "Most certainly," he declared this week in an interview in his newly minted marble (and heavily chandeliered) palace. The more American soldiers the better, a top aide confirms. Original article Posted by Judith Miller | November 06, 2006 Judith Miller Supports Josh Wolf Judith Miller on August 5, 2006, outside of the Federal Correctional Center in Dublin, California, in support of freelance journalist, Josh Wolf. Judy has spoken out against Josh's jailing and wrote an article, "In Prison Without a Shield" (see below), appearing in The New York Sun, August 17, 2006. Posted by Judith Miller | November 06, 2006 Opinion: In Prison Without A Shield The New York Sun, August 17, 2006 By JUDITH MILLER By the end of his first week in prison, Joshua Wolf, a 24-year-old freelance video-journalist, had read the autobiography of Malcolm X. By the end of week two, he was planning a project to help give prisoners a voice from jail. Josh Wolf is determined, he told me in a collect call Tuesday, to be the prison's "most productive" inmate ever. Mr. Wolf is the latest addition to a club whose growing membership should trouble us all. Like me, Josh was found in contempt of court in early August for refusing to provide material being sought by a Federal grand jury — in this case, unaired video footage he shot last year in San Francisco at a raucous political protest of the G-8 summit conference. During the protest by so-called anarchists, one policeman was injured and a firecracker was thrown at a police car in an alleged attempt to set it on fire. Original article Posted by Judith Miller | November 06, 2006 Commentary: Gadhafi's Leap of Faith The Wall Street Journal, May 17, 2006 By JUDITH MILLER On Dec. 16, 2003, three days after Saddam Hussein was pulled from his hole near Tikrit, Robert G. Joseph, who headed counterproliferation on the White House National Security Council, flew to London for a secret meeting with his British and Libyan counterparts to discuss how and when Libya would announce the abandonment of its weapons of mass destruction. "The trip was so close-hold that it was cleared neither with the British Embassy in Washington nor the American Embassy in London," a senior U.S. official recalled. Neither Donald Rumsfeld nor Colin Powell knew of it in advance. Seated around an antique wooden table with senior British and Libyan officials at the Traveler's Club in London -- chosen by the British for being a discreet place to meet -- Mr. Joseph was stunned by the evasiveness of the draft announcement initially presented by Musa Kusa, Libya's U.S.-educated foreign intelligence chief and de facto head of its six-man delegation. The statement failed to mention even the existence of banned weapons or programs in Libya, nor did it say that Moammar al-Gadhafi, Libya's strongman, was prepared to abandon them. Instead, the draft spoke of the "spirit of Christmas," of all things, and Libya's desire to establish a "WMD-free zone" in the Middle East, according to an official who saw several early drafts. "It was a mushy mess," he recalled. Original article Posted by Judith Miller | November 06, 2006 Commentary: How Gadhafi Lost His Groove Wall Street Journal, May 16, 2006; Page A14 By JUDITH MILLER As the Bush administration struggles to stop Iran and North Korea from acquiring nuclear weapons, it might recall how Libya was persuaded to renounce terrorism and its own weapons of mass destruction programs, including a sophisticated nuclear program purchased almost entirely from the supplier network run by Abdul Qadeer Khan, the "father" of Pakistan's bomb. When Libya dramatically declared on Dec. 19, 2003, that it was abandoning its rogue ways, President Bush and other senior officials praised Libya and Moammar al-Gadhafi, the surviving dean of Arab revolutionary leaders, as a model that other rogue states might follow. In fact, the still largely secret talks that helped prompt Libya's decision, and the joint American-British dismantlement of its weapons programs in the first four months of 2004, remain the administration's sole undeniable -- if largely unheralded -- intelligence and nonproliferation success. And a key figure in that effort, Stephen Kappes, is now slated to be the next deputy director of the demoralized Central Intelligence Agency.
