Plame Investigation News!!!!!

WASHINGTON - Judith Miller, The New York Times reporter who has been jailed since July 6 for refusing to identify a source, has been released, The Inquirer has learned.

Miller left an Alexandria, Va. jail late this afternoon, a jail official said.

She was released after she had a telephone conversation with the Vice President Dick Cheney's chief of staff, I. Lewis Libby, sources said. In that conversation, Libby reaffirmed that he had released Miller from a promise of confidentiality more than a year ago, sources said.


Why now? After almost three months of leaving Miller in the pokey, why would Libby suddenly release her from confidentiality now? Did it take that long to destroy evidence? Did he get information that the grand jusry would indict, or wouldn't?

Just very curious. Something shifted under the water in this investigation, and we are just seeing the ripples on the surface.
