NYT Still Mum On Miller

Today's NYTimes has another big Plame story, with this photo of Karl Rove driving through the pre-dawn media wall outside his home splashed across the top.

Besides being insulted that Rove flashed his brights at the wolfpack, the story is rife with data on Rove, on the President's poll numbers, on comparative scandals in the White House -- but on its own Judith Miller and all the mystery surrounding her role in these matters, it only says, buried three-quarters of the way through the piece:
The investigation led to the imprisonment of a reporter for The New York Times, Judith Miller, for 85 days for refusing to testify before the grand jury about a conversation with a confidential source, later identified as Mr. Libby.
The NYT says it's coming clean on the story in the next day or two. Frankly, who cares? I'll stick to credible sources.
