Deutsch also said Miller’s reporting on allegations that Saddam Hussein had weapons of mass destruction was used in a similar way by U.S. officials to justify starting a war in Iraq. “Isn’t it true that you are no longer with The New York Times because you have been exposed as someone who got too close to public officials?” Deutsch challenged her.
“No, sir, that is not true,” Miller replied without elaborating. She had described herself at the beginning of her testimony as a "freelance journalist."
"Didn't you write a series of articles promoting our going to war in Iraq?" Deutsch asked. Miller did not get a chance to answer because U.S. District Court Judge Amy J. St. Eve sustained a prosecutor's objection to the question. snip
