Miller

Salon has an article about the left's response to Judith Miller's jailing. Apparently a lot of people are thinking along the same lines as you. The article is on their front page, but with their advertisement thing, I can't really link to it.

It's too long to retain my interest through the whole thing, but it opens with the choice quote:

"New York Times reporter Judith Miller is sent to jail for contempt of court, but not for writing months of front-page fiction about Iraq's weapons of mass destruction," a reader in California recently wrote to Salon. "Al Capone did time in prison for tax evasion, but not for murder. I guess you have to take what you can get."
