What's Going On

Michelle Malkin blogged Power Line has obtained Lewis "Scooter" Libby's Sept. 15, 2005, letter to NYTimes reporter Judith Miller reiterating the waiver he gave her a year ago and urging her to testify before the grand jury. Take a look. Judy's story doesn't add up. Can you tell what's going on?

I believe the answer was in what she said when she was first released. She got a promise from Fitzgerald that he would not question her about sources other than Libby or matters other than her conversations with Libby. I looked all over to try to find a source that reported it, and finally found it in the Left Wing Talk Left:

There are two components to Judith Miller's explanation for her decision to testify before the grand jury. One is her claim that by speaking to Libby on the phone the other day, she satisfied herself the waiver was genuine. The other is that she got a promise from Fitzgerald that he would not question her about sources other than Libby or matters other than her conversations with Libby..... So, I think Fitzgerald's agreement to limit Miller's questioning to Libby is a big deal. It probably was far more a factor in her decision to testify than the release from Libby. No one ever bought her waiver argument - and she always was up front about not wanting to talk about her other sources.
