The Times Speaks

If you have the time or patience, the New York Times has an 8 page article on the Judith Miller debacle . I'll summarize it for you. Fellow journalists at the Times are puzzled and annoyed. Editors regret something but it's not entirely clear what. They also stand by their decision to back a reporter, but pretty much admit they wish it hadn't been Judith Miller they had to back. She, however, still thinks she accomplished something and that the biggest failing has been the inability of her and the NY Times to explain to everyone just what a great sacrifice she's made for the freedom of the press.

No mention of any annoyance or anger expressed by readers.
