Uproar Over McClellan Statement on Plame Case Grows -- Even Judith Miller Weighs In
Reaction to a brief excerpt from an upcoming book by former White House spokesman Scott McClellan escalated late last night and today, with candidates for president in both parties -- and even Judith Miller -- weighing in.

McClellan will be coming out with his volume in April. It's called "What Happened" and its publisher, Public Affairs, at its Web site now carries a short excerpt -- which set off a media firestorm on Tuesday.

It also led to a call for a full probe by a top U.S. senator and condemnation from former CIA agent Valerie Plame.

-----

Politico.com caught up with two reporters embroiled in the Plame case. “You’re only as good as your sources,” Judith Miller, formerly with The New York Times, said "with a mischievous laugh," Politico noted. She added: “Nothing surprises me about Washington during this administration anymore."

Matt Cooper, formerly with Time magazine, said he “was always frustrated that Rove and Libby misled McClellan....I’m glad McClellan is, too."

1. “You’re only as good as your sources,”
And just as evil if you become their mouthpiece.

2. Okay, Judith, maybe you shouldn't be surprised by anything this
administration does, but where is the outrage?
