http://www.miami.com/mld/miamiherald/news/12927576.htmNEW YORK - Reacting to a lengthy self-critique published over the weekend, some journalists have turned on The New York Times and its reporter Judith Miller, who only weeks ago was being lauded for her willingness to go to jail to protect a source.
A few media critics and academics suggested Monday that the Pulitzer Prize-winning reporter should be fired - both for her coverage of the search for weapons of mass destruction in Iraq and for failing to explain how she learned the identity of the CIA agent wife of a Bush administration critic.
"It's not enough that Judith Miller, we learned Saturday, is taking some time off and `hopes' to return to the New York Times newsroom," Greg Mitchell, the editor of the journalism trade publication Editor & Publisher, wrote in an online column. "She should be promptly dismissed for crimes against journalism, and her own newspaper." snip
"The credibility of The New York Times is at stake," he said. "She either needs to be given a clean bill of health, or she needs to be told that she can't represent the Times anymore."
