PlameGate Heating Up Again
Mrs. Ahmad Chalabi (aka Judith Miller) and Matthew Cooper have lost their appeal. (Not that Miller had any real appeal for anyone outside of the PNAC Platoon and Chalabi.) They must disclose their sources. Aside from seeing Miller finally get something resembling comeuppance for being a PNAC-approved lie conduit, my main thoughts about this involve Bob Novak. Miller and Cooper at least had the decency to withhold Plame's name from stories intended to be published. Novak, on the other hand, wrote the published column that outed Plame. He should be facing jail time, but he's apparently more valuable to Bush and his PNAC Platoon friends than Judith Miller ever will be. (It doesn't help Judy that her good friend Mr. Chalabi no longer enjoys the influence he once had in DC. Poor thing.)
