Poll: Almost half in U.S. creationist
NEW YORK, Oct. 22 (UPI) -- New York Times Executive Editor Bill Keller has issued a mea culpa to his staff, detailing mistakes in his handling of reporter Judith Miller.
In a memorandum sent while he was out of the country, Keller also made his first direct criticism of Miller, suggesting the Pulitzer Prize winning reporter misled Philip Taubman, the paper's Washington bureau chief.
Miller spent 85 days in jail for refusing to testify before a grand jury investigating the leak of CIA employee Valerie Plame's identity. Plame is the wife of former Ambassador Joseph Wilson, who riled the Bush administration when he accused officials of misleading the public about Iraq's attempts to buy nuclear materials in Nigeria. Wilson, sent to investigate the alleged purchase, found no evidence for it.
Keller said he was unaware "Judy had been one of the reporters on the receiving end of the anti-Wilson whisper campaign."
Miller went public as well with her response to Keller, denying misleading Taubman and questioning his statements about her relationship with I. Lewis "Scooter" Libby, Vice President Dick Cheney's chief of staff.
