Atrios remembers a little something

In response to a New York Times editorial suggesting Judith Miller be let go:

Number of days Susan McDougal spent in prison for contempt? About 540.

Number of New York times editorial board pieces suggesting she be let go? According to a variety of Nexis searches I've done, approximately 0.

This may be the thing I like best about blogs and blogging: Unlike the seeming vast majority of the mainstream press, they have memories. Incidentally, I read and liked McDougal's book a couple of years ago. Mark Evanier's got a little note about meeting her here (you'll need to scroll down).
