A Reporter's Life


Jailed reporter

I watched the news wire today and learned that, yes, Pullitzer Prize winner Judith Miller was being hauled off to jail. Interestingly enough, her Pullitzer was for explanatory writing, but this legal saga can't always be easily explained. (It's also interesting that I quoted her article four years ago when writing a story about a college student who was sentenced to death for terrorism.)

Anyway, I'm not going to give you a bunch of links. I figure that if you don't know reporters are being jailed for keeping promises while sexual predators are being released so they can reoffend, you probably won't click my links. I will, however, provide one link that puts a bit of humor in the situation. It's true, too.
