Judith Miller(judithmiller)Judith Miller (born 1948 in New York City ) is an investigative journalist for the New York Times . She shared a PulitzerPrize in 2001 for her coverage of alQaeda and Osama bin Laden . Miller, who started at the Times in 1977, has come under criticism for her reporting on Iraq 's weapons of massdestruction . Her critics accuse her of relying too heavily on sources friendly to the Bush administration , in particular Ahmed Chalabi andother exiles she met through him. Miller's over-reliance on anonymous high-level sources, say her critics, has biased herreporting and the testimony of the exiles has been called into serious doubt. An important instance of this occurred in September 2002 when shereported on the interception of metal tubes bound for Iraq. Her story stated that they would be used to develop nuclear material.It later transpired that they could not be used for this purpose. However, soon after Condoleezza Rice , Colin Powell and Donald Rumsfeld all appeared on television and pointed to the story as apartial basis for war. The Middle East Forum , which openly declared support for a USinvasion of Iraq, had listed Miller as an expert speaker on its website. On May 26 , 2004 , a week after the U.S.government apparently severed ties with Chalabi, a Times editorial acknowledged that some of the Times coveragein the run-up to the war had relied too heavily on Chalabi and other Iraqi exiles bent on regime change. It also regretted that"information that was controversial [was] allowed to stand unchallenged". While the editorial rejected "blame on individualreporters", others noted that 10 of the 12 flawed stories discussed had beenwritten or co-written by Miller. References
