Holy smokes. Will the Wilson/Plame/Rove/Miller business take down the top brass of the New York Times too? Here’s the NYT’s "public editor" (ombudsman) Byron Calame in his weblog:
Thelifting of the contempt order against Judith Miller of The New YorkTimes in connection with the Valerie Wilson leak investigation leavesno reason for the paper to avoid providing a full explanation of thesituation. Now.
…So,assuming The Times publishes its explanation sometime in the next fewdays, I will be assessing it in my column on Sunday, Oct. 23. I willneed time to do some reporting. A representative of Ms. Miller hasindicated that she will talk to me at some point, and I would expect tohave access to both Mr. Keller and Arthur Sulzberger Jr., thepublisher, if necessary.
