Consider the Source

Former NY Times reporter Alex Jones -- now head of the Shorenstein Center on the Press, Politics and Public Policy at Harvard University -- about Times reporter Judy Miller; her mistakes on the Iraq beat got Miller assigned to cover the White House, making her a key figure in "Plame-gate":

If the New York Times does not trust Judy Miller to do stories in her area of expertise, what do they trust her to do, and why should we trust what she does? She's a great, energetic talent, but investigative reporters need to be managed very closely, and her characterization of herself as Miss Run Amok is something an institution like the New York Times can't afford.
