Times Reporter Presents Her Account of CIA Leak
Miller Thought Libby Needed Protection

Vice President Cheney's chief of staff discussed with New York Times correspondent Judith Miller the fact that the wife of a White House critic worked for the CIA on three occasions before the wife, Valerie Plame, was publicly identified, according to Miller's account in the Times today.

During two of the 2003 conversations with I. Lewis "Scooter" Libby, Miller said, she wrote versions of Plame's name in her notebook, although she believes the name came from another confidential source she said she cannot recall.

In a disclosure that could figure in special prosecutor Patrick J. Fitzgerald's investigation, Miller said she initially refused to testify about her discussions with Libby because she believed he was signaling her that she should not cooperate in the CIA leak investigation unless her account would clear him. Miller was jailed for 85 days for refusing to testify about Libby, until she reached an accommodation last month with Fitzgerald.

5. Miller couldn't tell the truth if her life depended on it

She's been working deep cover for the neo-con conspiracy for years. She was involved in David Kelly's murder. She laid the psychological groundwork for the anthrax attacks.
