This is a misrepresentation of events. Miller capitulated when faced with additional contempt charges and confirmed the names she was given consent to name a year ago. Libby and Rove gave general waivers to Miller and Marc Cooper a long time ago, which Miller's former attorney Floyd Abrams acknowledges. Further, there was no violation of the law in question (the Intelligence Identities Protection Act).
This was a straw issue raised by the NY Times and the phony martyr Miller. They both lost hugely.
