The board of The American Society of Journalists and Authors (ASJA) has voted unanimously to reverse an earlier decision to give its annual Conscience in Media award to jailed New York Times reporter Judith Miller, E&P has learned.
The group’s First Amendment committee had narrowly voted to give Miller the prize for her dedication to protecting sources, but the full board has now voted to overturn that decision, based on its opinion that her entire career, and even her current actions in the Plame/CIA leak case, cast doubt on her credentials for this award.
Wouldn’t surprise me at all now that we’ve had all this time to watch the play evolve, Peg C.
Have you researched the Dems who are involved with the PNAC-ers? The Shadow Gov’t, y’know. They’re the ones in charge and they’re invisible.
Gahhh!
Oh, by the way — Judy Miller — she could get the No-Conscience in Media Award. Traitor.
Okay, this is OT also, but here’s my definition of chutzpah: The neocons essentially suspended the Geneva Convention prohibitions on torture, and now that FOIA requests for actual video of torture in Gitmo and Abu Ghraib have been upheld by a federal judge…
The Defense Department argues that to release such horrific video of its prisoners being tortured would…
Correct. It would violate the prisoners’ Geneva Convention rights.
(Heard this on MSM radio news, believe it or not.)
Perhaps Miller would be more deserving of a Neo-Conscience award.
The American Society of Journalists and Authors (ASJA) are a bit slow, but they finally got it right. Hope other groups in America will also soon see beyond the lies of the Bush administration and not be fooled any further.
How’s "Fudge Judy" doing in jail these days? Is she taking tennis lessons? Giving lectures on the Bill of Rights to Mafia stool pigeons? Preparing her book deal? Knitting Bob Novak a lightweight vest for when the temperature in D.C. goes over 100?
Let’s have a "Judy Miller Nickname" contest. I’ll start out with "Fudge Judy" and "Joan of Argggh."
Any other ideas?
"Shiller Miller"
Judy the doodie?
Haha! Y’all are hilarious! It’s gonna be tough choosing a winner ‘coz they’re all winners!
O/T!! I can’t help it. Remember the pic of Big Dick Cheney’s Mystery Bulge?
Mae West: So, Dick — are ya just happy to see me or is that a stash of missing Iraq cash in your pocket?
OT – Please forgive me:
I have a persistent nightmare: that Patrick Fitzgerald is a neo-con plant. That all this sound and fury is a devious plot to, ultimately, exculpate the "president" that we are being played, once again, the naive fools.
I’m sick of this. I can’t stand any more. Where are the true-blue rebels?
WHAT’S HAPPENING WITH KARL ROVE??
Is the ascension of the latest ACVR Report another smoke and mirrors "don’t look there – look over here" magic show trick to hush up this investigation?
Here are a few sites I pulled up searching for news on ROVE (which are, in fact, dribbling out) ~
