LUCY FEELS JUDITH MILLER'S PAIN

As everyone knows, New York Times reporter Judith Miller (A Pulitizer Prize winner, BTW) has spent the past two weeks in jail for failing to refusing to testify before a grand jury and prosecutor who wanted to know who her sources were in connection to the Valerie Plame leak case.

Lucy Morgan of the St. Petersburg Times knows the feeling, to an extent. While she didn't spend a day or night in jail, she was threatened with imprisonment in November, 1973 when she didn't reveal the sources of a story she had written. Bail was posted, and the Times appealed to the Florida Supreme Court. Three years later, the jail sentenced was overturned, a limited privilege for reporters was established.

Ms. Morgan believes that, in her NYT collegue's case, a little advocacy is in order.
