Three months ago, leftists were calling for Karl Rove's head on a silver platter. They just knew that he was at the center of the Valerie Plame kerfuffle. While the media was crucifying Rove, New York Times reporter Judy Miller sat quietly in jail, protecting her source. Clearly her source wasn't Rove, because Rove was already outed.

Now Miller has been released from jail after agreeing to testify before the Grand Jury. And the New York Times is reporting that indeed Rove was not Miller's source.

The Times, which supported her contention that her source should be protected, reported late Thursday that her source was Vice President Dick Cheney's chief of staff, I. Lewis "Scooter" Libby.

I still find it hard to believe that the Times would go to such a great length to protect Libby; especially during an election year when it could have hurt Cheney and/or Bush. I wonder if more embarassing details were surface in Miller's testimony today.
