NYT Editor: Miller Misled the Paper Over CIA Leak

HeadlineOct 24, 2005

Meanwhile New York Times reporter Judith Miller remains in the headlines. Miller is the reporter who spent 85 days in jail for initially refusing to testify before the grand jury about the CIA leak. On Friday, the paper’s executive editor Bill Keller accused Miller of misleading the paper about her involvement in the CIA leak investigation. Keller also admitted he should have been quicker to correct Miller’s stories about weapons of mass destruction in Iraq. On Sunday the paper’s public editor Byron Calame wrote “It seems to me that whatever the limits put on her, the problems facing her inside and outside the newsroom will make it difficult for her to return to the paper as a reporter.” Meanwhile Times columnist Maureen Dowd headlined her Sunday piece about Miller “Woman of Mass Destruction.”
