Judy goes up the river
Judy Miller went to jail today for refusing to reveal her source in the Valerie Plame debacle. On the one hand, I admire the way she's sticking to her principles. (We spit on Time! Cowards. My vote: One of Karl Rove's minions.)
On the other hand, I'm hoping Judy uses this quiet time to do some long, hard thinking about the war in Iraq and her role in getting us there. Perhaps she'll find some WMDs in her cell. Perhaps we'll find that Ahmad Chalabi was her source on this too. Let's hope not.

This is probably the best I've heard anyone express my feelings about Ms. Miller. Yes, she blew it on Iraq, but it's wrong of me to want her to go to jail for that reason. I will content myself with the idea that some good might come out of it for her personally.
But I'm also not holding my breath that it's gonna happen.
She's going to jail for all the right reasons. I don't think any journalist would disagree with that. But there is, as you note, a certain irony in the situation.
