We can not wait for them to adapt this story for Law & Order. In the next chapter in Plamegate (which we may have to change to Wilsongate, according to the Times), lawyers for I. Lewis "Scooter" Libby, are slapping subpoenas on the New York Times and Judith Miller.

The new subpoenas seek her notes and other materials, including any other documents concerning Ms. Wilson prepared by Ms. Miller and Nicholas D. Kristof, an Op-Ed columnist for The Times; drafts of a personal account by Ms. Miller published in The Times in October concerning her grand jury testimony; documents concerning her interactions with an editor of The Times; and documents concerning a recent Vanity Fair article on the investigation

We don't really understand why anything besides Vanity Fair, the grail of truth, would be needed for a court investigation. It doesn't matter that the article was written by Judy's best friend. A VF article is great evidence — especially because their reporters got it all on tape.
