Surpising exactly no one, Judy Miller has "retired" from the New York Times. Given his role in the go-to-jail fiasco, and the very public blame game he precipitated with Miller (see this and this and this), it may not be far fetched to suppose that Bill Keller will himself follow Judy out the door before too very much longer. Recall that Bill Keller came in to replace Harold Raines as a result of the Jason Blair scandal. Now he has been wounded, perhaps fatally, by his own trust in another rogue reporter. The Times really does need to do something about its quality control.
Update: Lynne Duke of the Washington Post has a great report on conversations with Judy.
I have (very reluctantly, I admit) begun to believe that the Washington Post has supplanted the NYT as the counrty's paper of record.
