Judith Miller in the Floss

Over the last two mornings on Imus, discussion has centered on the Judith Miller affair. Apparently, according to James Carvell, the blogasphere, and Beltway skuttlebut, Judith Miller is claiming 5th admendment (not the 1st admendment) protection in her testemony in front of the grand jury. (You are not allowed to claim the 5th admendment in front of a grand jury ... thus her imprisonment.) The speculation is that Ms. Miller was the original source of the outing of Valarie Plame to Karl Rove and Lewis Libby. The question then becomes -- who told Judith Miller? Wouldn't it be funny if Judith Miller's source turns out to be Joe "Yellow Cake" Wilson (Valarie Plame's husband) or some other Democrat operative? Stay tuned.
