NYT letters about Judith Miller
Today's NYT publishes 12 letters about Judith Miller. Only 3 dissent the NYT's position that Ms Miller does it out of defending press freedom.
The one I agree the most..

To the Editor:
This case is about the foundations of a free press. A "free press," however, is not entitled to disrespect the rule of law.

紐約時報的記者因拒絕透露消息來源的身份而入獄, 民主的真諦受到討論。
到底記者對消息保密權是不是 absolute ?
中時的分析,並沒有寫到重點。
記者所保護的消息來源, 如果 本身就是犯法的行為 (像消息來源向記者說出 CIA情報員的姓名, 是很重的罪), 那麼法律給予記者的隱密權, 不是"只”在給whistle-blower(匿名通報)保護和保障嗎?

很讚的影評Blog
Michael Anderson's blog about the film "Tropical Malady". 說這個泰國導演在其中的記事方式(narrative style)是個"一記半玩笑性質的巴掌" (bitch-slap) 打向侯孝賢。(ie, challenge Hou Hsiao-hsien)
