Judith Miller testifies at Libby trial

WASHINGTON, Jan. 30 (UPI) -- Judith Miller, the former reporter who went to jail for refusing to reveal I. Lewis Libby as a source, testified against him Tuesday at his trial in Washington.

Miller gave damaging testimony, her former employer, The New York Times, reported. She said Libby, then Vice President Dick Cheney's chief of staff, told her on June 23, 2003, that former Ambassador Joseph Wilson's wife, Valerie Plame, worked for the CIA.

Libby, who is on trial for perjury and obstructing the investigation into the leaking of Plame's identity, has said under oath that he only learned she was a CIA agent in July, the report said.

Miller described Libby as "agitated and frustrated and angry" on June 23, telling her that the CIA was involved in "a perverted war of leaks." Wilson had recently published an op-ed piece in the Times in which he denied finding any proof during a trip to Nigeria that Saddam Hussein had bought uranium there.
