Judith Miller: "I Am The Nelson Mandela of Journalism (Satire warning)

Washington — Judith Miller, the New York Times reporter who at times has claimed she chose jail to protect her sources, and at other times claimed to be a big fan of martyrs such as the biblical apostle Paul, Martha Stewart, and the career-resurrection through martyrdom technique testified yesterday to a federal grand jury investigating a high-profile security leak.

Ms. Miller, 57, who spent 85 days behind bars, was let out of prison Thursday after she agreed to testify about her source — Vice-President Dick Cheney's chief of staff, Lewis “Scooter” Libby.

But the mystery at the heart of her case -- why she chose to go to and remain in prison even after Libby had already twice released her from the confidentiality agreement -- remains unsolved. Mr. Libby's lawyer said that release had been made more than a year ago and in writing.

Ms. Miller said yesterday, “In that dark, dank hopelessness that steals the consciousness and slowly starves a righteous soul thirsting for freedom from torturous confines, I recalled the last wise words of Obi-Wan Kenobi to comfort me in my darkest of lonely, weeping hours. "Strike me down, and I shall grow more powerful than you could ever imagine." Yea, I have nailed myself to the cross of the 4th Amendment, and the hour of my freedom draws nigh."

1. Why? Did Dick Cheney call her a 'terrorist' too?

Doubtful.
