Jeralyn Merritt - "Knowing the identity of the source is not enough for a perjury conviction. There must be two witnesses to the perjurious statement. Telephone records would not be enough, because they only provide the number dialed, not the identity of the person speaking. Matthew Cooper's and Judith Miller's e-mails and notes may provide that corroboration."

Economaniac - "What started as a potential case of intentionally leaking the identity of an agent has now become about perjury and obstruction of justice in an attempt to conceal White House involvement in fixing the intelligence that led to war."

Liberal Oasis - "It’s one thing to rally around friends in trouble, but the twisted logic many media pros have used to try to defend the NY Times’ Judith Miller and Time’s Matt Cooper has been appalling. The judgment day for the duo is near, now that the Supreme Court refused their appeal and a federal judge has given them one week to cough up what they know about PlameGate or go to jail. And so, we are blessed with another round of media types lamenting that these two “innocents” are going to jail for no reason and whining how this is “chilling” for the freedom of the press."
