Judith Miller Free... Whose Palms were Greased?

Editor & Publisher: Miller left an Alexandria, VA. jail late Thurs. She was released after she had a telephone conversation with the VP Cheney's chief of staff, Lewis Libby, sources said. In that conversation, Libby reaffirmed that he had released Miller from a promise of confidentiality more than a yr ago, sources said. OK, so maybe Libby is gearing up to fall on his GOP sword for his Masters in the WH, but what about this bit from the NY Times?: Bill Keller, the executive editor of The NY Times, said that Fitzgerald had assured Miller's lawyer that "he intended to limit his grand jury interrogation so that it would not implicate other sources of hers." Hmm... so her testimony may implicate other sources? Sources like Bolton? Rove? Cheney himself? But in the end, even if Libby is falling on his sword for Bush & Co, a very real possibility exists that BushCo doesn't want Fitzgerald to extend his investigation beyond October 28 and is going to "sacrifice" Libby in an effort to keep the investigation from widening. Libby may not like this, but he may have no choice but to go along with this and accept a pardon down the line, which W will happily do just his daddy did w/Iran-Contra criminals.
