Did Judith Miller Witness Interrogation of Muhammad Salah?
Chicago Sun-Times reporters Annie Sweeney and Lisa Donovan reported October 18, 2005 that "In an odd twist," the Israeli interrogation of Bridgeview, Illinois " used car salesman" Muhammad Salah "was witnessed by embattled New York Times reporter Judith Miller, and defense attorneys suggested Monday [October 17, 2005] the best way for the U.S. government to prove its case -- and prove Salah wasn't abused -- is to call the controversial journalist to the witness stand."
"We think the government is going to call her," they quoted Chicago defense attorney Michael E. Deutsch as saying.
The reporters said, "A message left for Miller -- author of the book God Has Ninety-Nine Names: Reporting From a Militant Middle East -- at the New York Times on Monday [October 17, 2005] was not returned. "A spokesman for U.S. Attorney Patrick Fitzgerald, who subpoenaed Miller to testify in the leak of a CIA agent's name and whose office is prosecuting Salah, declined to comment on whether Miller might be called to testify in the case," the noted.
