Remember how crazy the NYTimes (and the rest of the MSM) went in early 2002 when it was announced that the Defense Department had an “Office of Strategic Influence” that might consider feeding the media misinformation in order to advance its agenda of national security objectives?

Couldn’t help but think of that upon reading Judy Miller’s account of why her notebook might contain the notation “Victoria Wilson” instead of “Valerie Plame”:

I told Mr. Fitzgerald that I was not sure whether Mr. Libby had used this name or whether I just made a mistake in writing it on my own. Another possibility, I said, is that I gave Mr. Libby the wrong name on purpose to see whether he would correct me and confirm her identity.“

I guess it all depends on who’s zoomin’ who.
