Poll: Almost half in U.S. creationist
WASHINGTON, Oct. 4 (UPI) -- New York Times reporter Judith Miller has only herself and her lawyer to blame for her seven weeks in jail, a lawyer for her source claims.
Joseph Tate, who represents Lewis "Scooter" Libby, chief of staff to Vice President Dick Cheney, accused Floyd Abrams, the well-known First Amendment lawyer, of engaging in "spin control," The Washington Post reported. Tate says Libby released Miller from her promise of confidentiality long before she was imprisoned for refusing to testify before a grand jury investigating the leak of CIA agent Valerie Plame's identity.
"The significant fact that you continue to omit, and that seems to be lost here, is that you never told me that your client did not accept my representation of voluntariness or that she wanted to speak personally with my client," Tate said in a letter to Abrams. "Even you can't spin those facts away. That is the answer to this unfortunate circumstance of your client's incarceration, not any failure on our part."
Abrams and Miller have said that she did not believe that Libby's waiver was voluntary.
