Amazing and disturbing story
Alternet reports that former New York Times reporter Judith Miller, the one who spent time in jail for refusing to testify before a grand jury, was tipped off to the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks earlier in the summer of 2001, but that she and her editor decided not to do a story because they were afraid of being accused of "crying wolf."
As a journalist, I understand to a point what she is saying. This was an explosive story, and came from a very good, highly-placed source in the White House. It had to be nailed down solidly. But couldn't she have done something? Sometimes you need to publish what you know, even if it isn't the whole story. You publish to get the story out there, and follow up as more details become available.
What other secrets are out there about 9/11?
