Judith Miller
Judith Miller Born (1948-01-02) January 2, 1948 (age 67) New York City, New York, USA Alma mater Ohio State University Barnard College of Columbia University Princeton University Occupation Journalist, writer Judith Miller (born January 2, 1948) is an American journalist and writer. She is formerly of the New York Times Washington bureau, where she became embroiled in controversy after her coverage of Iraq's Weapons of Mass Destruction (WMD) program both before and after the 2003 invasion was discovered to have been based on faulty information, particularly those stories that were based on sourcing from the now-disgraced Ahmed Chalabi. A number of stories she wrote while working for The New York Times were deemed to be inaccurate by her employer. According to commentator Ken Silverstein, Miller's Iraq reporting "effectively ended her career as a respectable journalist." Miller was later involved in the Plame Affair, in which the status of Valerie Plame as a member of the Central Intelligence Agency became widely known. When asked to name her sources, Miller invoked reporter's privilege and refused to reveal her sources in the CIA leak. Miller retired from her job at the New York Times in November 2005. Later, she was a contributor to the Fox News Channel and a fellow at the conservative Manhattan Institute. She is currently a member of the Council on Foreign Relations. On December 29, 2010, numerous media outlets reported that she had signed on as a contributing writer to the conservative magazine Newsmax.
