Scooter Libby joins a long line of men who lost their heads over Judy Miller. After wringing the last drop of martyrdom to the First Amendment by dint of her confinement in a detention center in Alexandria, Miller was informed by her lawyers that she might have to spend more than a couple of months on jailhouse rations and a thin pallet. She promptly went before a grand jury and special prosecutor Fitzgerald and set up the source she had previously pledged to protect at all costs. Scooter Libby could now face charges of perjury, conspiracy, obstruction of justice and witness tampering.

Cranach's masterpiece lent itself easily to the manipulations of CounterPuncher Ben Tripp. We invite all CounterPunchers to try their hand at the theme. Send your specimens here: counterpunch@counterpunch.org
