Former Carter arms control advisor William Jackson has published more on one of the more baffling aspects of this case, Judith Miller's Secret security clearance. Jackson was among the first to report two years ago that Miller claimed in Iraq to have a security clearance, and Miller has confirmed in her piece yesterday that she indeed had one. Jackson has also reported in the past, and reports again in this updated piece tonight, that Miller wore a US military uniform in Iraq. It seems the source for that is either the handful of other reporters who were on the same WMD hunt beat in Iraq, or the US military public affairs officers that Jackson interviewed. If it's true that Miller wore a military uniform in Iraq, that just blows one's mind.
