I put Middle Earth Journal in hiatus in May of 2008 and moved to Newshoggers.
I temporarily reopened Middle Earth Journal when Newshoggers shut it's doors but I was invited to Participate at The Moderate Voice so Middle Earth Journal is once again in hiatus.

Poor Judith Miller, It's Hard Work

So poor Judith Miller is off to the slammer, couldn't happen to a better hack.
Ark over at Underzealous sums it up
The one thing that jumped out at me is how strident she is:
"I think it's really frightening when journalists can be put in jail for doing their job effectively," Miller told reporters outside the courthouse.
I'm not sure what she thinks her job is. Outing undercover agents to undermine national security? I believe we call that treason in some circles. Yes, journalists do have the responsibility of reporting the truth, but that's not at the expense of other principles that should be obvious. Furthermore, it's illegal.
