Sucks for Judith Miller

Bush commuted Libby’s jail sentence today; apparently lying to and obstructing the FBI in a national security investigation is only worthy of a fine. As much as this is great news for Scooter, how much does it suck to be Judith Miller today? She willingly went to jail for 85 days to protect Libby. In fact, she went above and beyond the call of duty (cf., Matthew Cooper) as Libby had signed a waiver for Miller to testify but Miller was worried that the waiver had been “coerced.” So she stayed in jail until Scooter called her personally and told her to testify. And now Libby, who actually perpetrated the crimes, gets off with probation.
