Mountains of Straw

E&P discusses Judith Miller's lawyer's appearance on Loud Dobbs's Xenophobia Hour last night. There's a lot of interest, but I was struck by the strawman claim that people are saying Miller thinks she's "above the law" which can't be true because she's in jail.

It's the New York Times and others who believe that Miller should be above the law when they argue she shouldn't have to testify, and that she shouldn't have to serve time if she refuses to do so.
