The New York Times In Full Damage Control Mode

The publishers of the New York Times are sticking to their position that Judy Miller went to jail for a noble cause. Check this story in today's edition of the newspaper.

Of course, what they don't address is Judy's relationship with the neo-cons. As Arianna Huffington has pointed out, there are many unanswered questions about her articles published during the months leading up to the Iraq war.

When I read Miller's pro-war articles, almost always based on "senior administraton sources," I assumed they were nothing more than neo-con propaganda. I haven't changed my view.

The New York Times has promised to do a detailed story on the Miller affair. I bet they won't cover what is argueably the most important part of the story.
