Well, I'll leave it there too, as I'm sure y'all see what I'm saying here. Nothing to do with protecting the sources. All to do with where the trail seems to have ended.

First, it's Judith Miller that is being served with a subpoena, not "the New York Times." Ms. Miller, as you may recall, wrote gobs of stories about WMD in Iraq. My personal favorite was the series of articles she wrote when she was embedded with the secret US military unit searching for WMD -- especially when they "let" her talk to an "Iraqi scientist." I kinda doubt her sources include James Carville.
Speaking of Judy, she's officially in contempt.

Favorite quote: "I think it's really frightening when journalists can be put in jail for doing their job effectively,'' Miller told reporters outside the courthouse.
So, Ms. Miller, you should go because your WMD stories were full of misinformation that you -- and your editors -- didn't bother to vet?
