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.

The right of the press to anonymously quote sources is unchallenged and will remain. But anonymous sources must be aware that they may be called upon by our judicial system to identify themselves.
