Is this Garland or Miller?

Great piece by James C. Moore in today's Salon (which also features another absolutely brilliant piece by Sidney Blumenthal on Chalabi fallout) on Dame Judy and her role in taking America into an illegal and unneccesary, costly and bloody war. What a mouth on that woman.

In its editors note, the Times admitted Miller's "informant also claimed that Iraq had sent unconventional weapons to Syria and had been cooperating with Al Qaeda -- two claims that were then, and remain, highly controversial. But the tone of the article suggested that this Iraqi 'scientist' -- who in a later article described himself as an official of military intelligence -- had provided the justification the Americans had been seeking for the invasion. The Times never followed up on the veracity of this source or the attempts to verify his claims."

Miller, who knew all of this already at the time I interviewed her, remained righteously indignant, unwilling to accept that she had goofed in the grandest of fashions.

"You know what," she offered angrily. "I was proved fucking right. That's what happened. People who disagreed with me were saying, 'There she goes again.' But I was proved fucking right."

Ummm. No. No, you weren't.
