JUDY, Judy, judy... "Breakin' Rocks in the Hot Sun"

Check out this from the Judge, a few weeks back, in the RoveLeak
Scandal case, regarding Ms.
Miller... (via Mark
Kleiman){www.markarkleiman.com/archives/valerie_plame_/}:

[Chief U.S. District Judge Thomas F.] Hogan said Miller was mistaken in her belief that she was defending a free press. He stressed that the government source she "alleges she is protecting" had already waived her promise of confidentiality. He said her source may have been providing information not to shed light on government secrets but to try to discredit an administration critic. "This is not a case of a whistle-blower" revealing secret information to Miller about "dangers at a nuclear power plant," Hogan said. "It's a case in which the information she was given and her potential use of it was a crime. . . . This is very different than a whistle-blower outing government misconduct." "The information she was given ... was a crime."

Ponder that Judy! (Floor cold?)
Herb.
