Wall St Jrnl isn't Buying Judy's Version of Events

This is shocking given the Wall St Journal's pro-Bush bias, but maybe the questions and evidence are simply too overwhelming even for them. WSJ: "Ms Miller's account was printed in the Times; her piece and an article by other reporters on how the paper handled the matter covered 2 pages. Together, the articles show both that the Bush administration has cause for concern and that there is dissension within the NY Times about Ms Miller and whether she was adequately supervised." And Howard Kurtz clearly smells the rotting stench that Plamegate carries: "If the NY Times does not trust Judy Miller to do stories in her area of expertise, what do they trust her to do, and why should we trust what she does? She's a great, energetic talent, but investigative reporters need to be managed very closely, and her characterization of herself as Miss Run Amok is something an institution like the NY Times can't afford." Unfortunately, Miss Run Amok had a special security clearance. That's like giving Limbaugh the keys to the Oxycontin storage cabinet.
