It seems that Floyd Abrams, Judith Miller's former lawyer, said yesterday that the reason Miller sat in jail despite having a waiver from Libby to testify about their conversations was because she did not want to have to answer any questions about her other sources. Somehow she got a deal done with Fitzgerald where he will only ask her about Libby. What does this mean? To me either Fitzgerald really wants to fry Libby and the administration, a possibility which I tend to doubt, or he knows there was no crime committed and he just wants to get it over with.

SOmeone asked me yesterday why Fitzgerald has spent a year investigating this if there was no crime. Well the only people that have alleged a crime are the media and Bush's political enemies. Fitzgerald is an investigator. An investigator investigates, first to see if a crime was committed, and then to find the culprit. This a pretty subtle crime to discover, with a lot of minor details that beocme very important in decided how to apply laws and statutes. It's not unreasonable to think that it's tkane him a year to get all the facts and decide there was no crime.

On the other hand, we may discover I'm totally wrong. The one thing I do know is that all the speculation doesn't mean anything until Fitzgerald talks.
