Judith Miller will win a Pulitzer Prize! ...for an article that was never written.
Groan. We covered this in more detail in this old post, "Judy Miller, First Amendment Champion!". For brevity, let's go to the Washington Post Q&A:
Q: Doesn't Fitzgerald know the identities of Miller's and Cooper's sources? Haven't the sources signed waivers that allow the reporters to talk to the prosecutor?
Yes and yes. But Miller, who did some reporting but never wrote a story, says that the waiver is not voluntary under these circumstances and that she is upholding the journalistic principle of never breaking a promise of confidentiality to a source.
Well, maybe not a Pulitzer. I think you actually have to write something to win one of those, but I'm sure they'll come up with some other medal of freedom type award. How about: "For bravery and obstruction of justice in the fight to save America from the indescribably evil George W. Bush".
