In an interview with the BBC, Judy Miller admitted that others told her about Valerie Plame.

BBC INTERVIEWER: Who was it who told you that Valerie Plame was a spy?

JUDY MILLER: I don't remember who supplied the name. I remember and I testified before a Grand Jury to who it was that told me that Valerie Plame worked at the agency in the WMD area and that individual was Lewis Libby.. Scooter Libby.

BBC INTERVIEWER: Was there anybody else who named Valerie Plame to you as a CIA agent?

JUDY MILLER: Yes, other people did, but I - my notes - these interviews were two years old. I never wrote a story about it. It wasn't - I didn't consider it very important information at the time and my notes have no indication of who those other people were - and I really couldn't remember.

BBC INTERVIEWER: But if it was Karl Rove, for example, you'd remember.

JUDY MILLER: I'm not going to talk about who my other sources were or were not.

1. Eat it, Judy

Piece of trash....

[sabra]

2. very interesting...

was that a slip, or Miller just doesn't give a shit?

[H2O Man]

5. It's not new.

It wasn't a slip, just a review of what is already very well documented.

[sabra]

7. thanks, the concentration was always on Libby...

do you have a link that discusses the potential of other sources?

thanks.

12. As she has not

said who it was, there is only speculation. If you have her NYT article from after she testified, and some of the articles by her co-workers from that week, there is a good bit of commentary on her failure to identify the original source. But every article from that period notes that Libby was not her only source.

9. I still think she got it from Dick Cheney

and I think that's why she went to jail - for Dick.

3. What a lie.

Novak writes the story, * is on TV demanding to know who the leak was, and this POS didn't think it was important to know who was pushing the information on the press.

[liberal N proud]

4. If it was KKKarl Rove?? LOL - her answer gave it away!

She was willing to roll over on Scooter but KKKarl has her fooled into keeping the faith for him.

10. Exactly!

suddenly mum when Rove's name is brought up. hmmm.....

11. So many lies, thank goodness we have Fitz to winkle out the truth. n/t
