Russ Baker wrote in The Nation in June 2003 that Miller?s skills as a journalist are impressive:

?Each time Miller produces an article that could induce panic, she almost always mentions, some paragraphs down, that Al Qaeda's capability to deploy or develop these types of weapons has been judged by the Bush Administration to be crude at best. But the effect remains the same. Miller gets a story with a whopper of a headline, the story gets picked up and it connects with the American zeitgeist in support of extreme measures by the Administration domestically (Patriot Act) and internationally (invade Iraq), with few reading down to where Miller deflates the balloon and thereby preserves her credibility, in the same way that politicians leak and spin while preserving their deniability.?

"I don't know necessarily what the difference is" between a private interview and public testimony, presidential spokesman Scott McClellan said. "She's going to tell it exactly how it happened," he said.

oh ari2 - wot are we 2 do with u???
and im not sure about the choice of words "She's going to tell it exactly how it happened," - if i was trying to say what he is trying to say, id prolly say 'she'll tell everything she knows' or some such. "She's going to tell it exactly how it happened," sounds like she has been practising the official story - maybe...

"Personally I think her voice is so good, so powerful ... it would be to the administration's benefit" if she testified publicly, Senate Majority Leader Bill Frist said.

Polish Prime Minister Leszek Miller has said he will resign on 2 May - the day after Poland joins the EU. There has been growing dissatisfaction within the party about its declining popularity, currently less than 10%.
