Dueling self-justifications on TV last night.

• First up was Judy Miller on Larry King Live. E&P's recap: "Judith Miller defended herself from criticism for her role in the Plame/CIA leak case and her flawed reporting on WMD in Iraq, but would not discuss Scooter Libby. The former New York Times reporter claimed that she had "never" used Ahmad Chalabi as an anonymous source. She also declared, 'I did not use The New York Times to lobby for the Iraq war — it would have been inappropriate.' Along the way she took some shots at her former New York Times colleague, Maureen Dowd, who recently wrote a column calling Miller the 'Woman of Mass Destruction.'" [CNN Transcript]

• Then was Arthur Sulzberger on Charlie Rose. E&P again: "Arthur Suzlberger Jr.... defended the newspaper's role in the Plame legal case. He declared that 'morale is just great' at his paper today. But Sulzberger seemed to annoy Rose at times by focusing on legal or journalistic principles in the Miller case, while remaining 'not open' about how in-house complaints about her had 'rocked the institution.' Sulzberger said that the Miller fallout 'paled' next to the paper's Jayson Blair scandal, and next to the ongoing threat to the protection of confidential sources. He called the Miller affair 'a rather small bore issue in the big scheme of things.'
