Pardon me, but I have to snigger just a bit. Clooney in his righteous pontification and querulous pondering over the "Miller Miasma" - has drawn our attention to what might have been a meaningless whisp of smoke on a distant hill.
He was right to smell a scortched rat in Judith Miller's quixotic saga. The crackers in the bedlinen for Clooney is that he has uncovered - not a donkey-rat - but, rather, an elephant-rat.
It turns out that Miller is not the NYT left wing commie journalist that Clooney wanted to "out."
Nope. Now, it appears that she has instead been a longtime shill for the neo-cons in the administration, selling the war in exchange for insider tips that she did not have the security clearance to have access to.
Most of us do not considering it treason just because someone leaked the fact that administration dissident Joe Wilson was married to a CIA researcher who sat at a desk in D.C. most of the work day. And, we have always wondered why - if there was a crime committed - why was not Robert Novak the one who was in jail?
Now, the real story here is unfolding painfully for Clooney and his ilk. It is becoming common fodder that the neocons were very guilty of egregiously leaking secret information to the press in a Faustian bargain of doom for all involved.
For this abuse of power, the US Constitution provides harsh penalties. Thanks Clooney, for keeping the kleiglights focused.
