Miller goes to bat
for fellow reporter
From newswoman Judith Miller:

On Tuesday, Fox News reporter Jana Winter will be back in court, this time in Albany, continuing her fight to avoid jail and protect her confidential sources.

On that day, the New York State Court of Appeals, the state's highest court, will hear her plea to reverse a lower state court ruling which orders her to return to Aurora, Colorado to testify in the trial of James Holmes, the man charged with 166 felony charges, including 24 counts of first degree murder, in the movie theater massacre at a midnight showing of "Batman, The Dark Knight Rises." Twelve died and over 55 were injured in the attack on July 20, 2012.

Five days after the shooting, Winter, citing unidentified "law enforcement sources," reported that Holmes had sent a notebook "full of details about how he was going to kill people" to a University of Colorado psychiatrist before the attack.

Much of the press is ignoring Winter's fight, Miller said.

Miller spent time in jail for refusing to disclose a source in the Valerie Plame case. The jailing proved unnecessary because Vice President Dick Cheney eventually claimed he had had authority from President Bush to declassify Plame's status, meaning there had been no need to appoint a special prosecutor.

By maintaining silence on his planned defense, Cheney sacrificed Miller's freedom to his desire to do nothing to disrupt the second Bush-Cheney re-election drive.
