Judy, Judy, Judy!

Why, oh why, is Judith Miller still employed as a reporter by the New York Times?

Given her history as the discredited channeller of all things Chalabi, one wonders 1) why Matthews cast her as some sort of Iraq authority, and 2) why he didn't push her harder about her "revelation."He could easily have asked with his trademarked snort, "Judy, is this as solid as your WMD stories?" and "How good are these 'sources' and this 'one report'?"

The last, best question, "Say, Judy, Ahmad Chalabi couldn't be one of your 'sources,' could he?"

I find it hard to believe that the New York Times encourages its reporters to "break" big stories on Cable TV rather than on the pages of the newspaper. And if she is "breaking" stories on TV because those "breaking" stories are too dubious for the editors of her own newspaper, shouldn't the New York Times disassociate themselves from this Chalabi mouthpiece?
