Judith Miller Lands Book Deal

Posted on October 3, 2005

Apparently doing time can be good for a journalist's pocketbook. Judith Miller, the jailed New York Times reporter who recently relented and talked to the grand jury about Plamegate, has just scored a book deal with Simon and Schuster. Arianna Huffington says her sources tell her that the deal is worth $1.2 million.

Will Miller explain in her book why she went to jail to protect Scooter Libby, (when he had already given her a waiver) and then changes her mind and heads off for a chat with Prosecutor Fitzgerald ?One certainly hopes so, because it's the strangest source protection story we've ever heard.
