That makes it easier

I have been on the fence about Judith Miller's jail time-- from a free speech perspective, it's appalling to see a journalist imprisoned (Hugo Chavez pointed this out when a Post interviewer asked him about freedom of the press in Venezuela). On the other hand, I want the vast right-wing conspiracy of the administration exposed. Now, though, it looks like there may be more self-made martyrdom than journalistic crusading going on. Seems like the Times just can't get a break-- the newspaper of wreckard.
