So misremembering something is the same as lying? For the love of God, I hope you are not a judge or involved in law enforcement in any way.

JEFFREY BROWN: During the summer of 2005, then-New York Times reporter Judith Miller went to jail for 85 days for refusing to reveal who gave her the name of CIA operative Valerie Plame. Miller eventually was freed when that source, Lewis "Scooter" Libby, then chief of staff to the vice president, releases her from her pledge of confidentiality.

JUDITH MILLER, Former Reporter, New York Times: I was a journalist doing my job, protecting my source until my source freed me to perform my civic duty to testify.

JEFFREY BROWN: During the lead-up to the Iraq war, Miller frequently wrote about the search for weapons of mass destruction. Libby allegedly disclosed Valerie Plame's identity to Miller as part of a White House effort to discredit Plame's husband, former Ambassador Joe Wilson, who had publicly disputed a key part of the Bush administration's intelligence on WMD.

Now, this is not a surprise to most people covering this case. In the indictment, we learned that she said and testified that Scooter Libby, in a secret meeting in June 2003, told her about Joseph Wilson and told her that this prominent critic of the war at that time, that his wife worked with the CIA.

On the stand again today, she said that he and she met privately on July 8, 2003, and he told her more details about the wife and her role in counterproliferation in the CIA.

The other thing that was important about her testimony was that she went into great detail about how agitated Scooter Libby was when she met with him in June and also in July, and how she never said to him anything about other reporters knowing about this.

He was just really angry, complaining about the CIA, saying that the CIA was trying to blame the White House for using bad intelligence to justify the war in Iraq. And in that context is how, she said, he brought up Plame, Valerie Plame, and her husband, and Plame's role at the CIA.

Remember, all these dates are important. June, conversation with Libby. July 8th, conversation with Libby. July 14th, Novak's column comes out and, for the first time, reveals her identity. Bill Jeffers then said, "And who else could you have learned this from, Ms. Miller? We'd like to know about other sources of yours."

This caused a big hubbub in the court this afternoon. The trial proceedings were halted temporarily while there was a discussion. The jury was excused. The judge wanted to talk to Judy Miller's attorney, the very respected Bob Bennett, about, how do you feel about your client being asked some of these questions?

It was very clear that, you know, what Judy Miller had almost gone to jail -- what she had gone to jail for was this waiver that she said she hadn't received from Scooter Libby. She said she finally did receive it. She came out of jail. She testified on the agreement that it would only be about Libby. And then, today, three years later, after all this controversy has begun, she's asked to talk about other sources that she fought so hard not to discuss.

its also a verb: misremember - remember incorrectly; "I misremembered the date"
err, mistake, slip - to make a mistake or be incorrect

Sounds like Libby, Cheney, Bush, and every other politician. Convenient isn't it.
