Miller's Martyrdom Complex

Seeing that Miller had public and private assurances from Libby that she did not have to honor any implied confidence of his, why did she go to jail for 85 days? Dan Froomkin gives the likely answer: so that she could convert herself from a journalistic pariah for her influential pre-war reporting about Iraq's WMD using a source who turned out to be a relative of the unreliable Chalabi into a martyr.

How nice.
