Judith Miller at the Ramallah Interrogation Center

Judge weighs Bridgeview man's confession

May 31, 2006

A federal judge is weighing whether to allow into a U.S. court a confession obtained by Israeli government agents 13 years ago. snip

Salah's brief said the government argued that Salah's refusal to meet with New York Times reporter Judith Miller -- who was granted a rare access by Israeli Prime Minister Yitzhak Rabin to the Ramallah Interrogation Center in 1993 -- was evidence of Salah exercising "free will" while in custody. But Salah's brief called Miller a "friend of Israel," referencing a blacked-out footnote about closed-door testimony by one of the Israeli agents.

Rabin's goal was a New York Times article saying Salah and other Palestinian-Americans were funnelling money to military efforts, and Salah did not want to be a part of that, he said.

"If anything, the Miller affair underscores the fact that the whole interrogation of Mr. Salah was fueled by political motivations by Israel to prove that money was coming from Palestinians in the United States to support the resistance, and not humanitarian/ charitable efforts, and Mr. Salah and his prolonged interrogation was used as a pawn in this geopolitical maneuver directed from the highest level of the government of Israel," his brief said.

1. Judith Miller was more like a representative of the state of Israel.
not merely a friend.

Judith Miller is also a known spreader of falsehood and lies.
She has zero credibility.
