announcer: this week on q&a, our guest is judith miller, former new york times reporter and author of the book "the story: a reporter's journey"," which chronicles her account of her reporting leading up to the american invasion in iraq in 2003. brian: judy miller author of "the story: a reporter's journey"." deep in the book you have a chapter, this paragraph. the worst part of jail was not sleeping on a paperthin yoga mat. nor the vile food, mystery meat drenched in thick, brown sauce. accompanied by starches and carbohydrate in shades of brown and gray. what was the worst thing about being in jail? judith: for me, it was probably being locked up all of the time without any control over my life. we take watches and cell phones for granted. you know what time it is, you know what you're supposed to be doing. jail means a total loss of control. you work on their schedule. you sleep on their schedule. because i was in a kind of high-security jail, it was not the martha stewart camp cupcake kind of jail. there was no access to the outdoors. i think i had about four hours of real, breath

( laughter ) but first, the supreme court the knowledgeable nine elgrandy justivo. robes robes, robes. yesterday, america dropped down on one knee and proposed oral arguments that could settle the question of marriage equality for gay people. >> the court will answer two questions-- can state refuse to issue marriage licenses to same-sex couples, and can they decline to recognize same-sex marriages that were legally granted somewhere else. >> jon: that's right the supreme court is hearing those cases while participating in this year's "amazing race." ( laughter ) she seems-- she seems perfectly comfortable on a zip line.

judith miller joins me now. thank you for being here. >> thank you. >> when you look at the news out of iraq do you feel guilty? i mean, do you feel like you have a piece of that? that you own in some deep professional or moral sense what's going on there? >> no, i don't feel guilty. i feel that as a reporter i did the very best job i could to disclose to the american people some of the intelligence information that the president and the former vice president got that helped them form their decision to go to war. as the information evolved, i continued to stay with the story. i went to iraq to cover soldiers hunting for the weapons we thought were there -- >> it's the "we" right? who is the "we"? >> yes, the "new york times" and american press who were more or less reporting the exact same story in the lead-up to the war. >> you don't think this is a disaster? >> i never said that. you said that. of course, this is a disaster. isis is a disaster. the iraq war was a disaster. the way in which it was fought was a

some on the left, including many working at the "new york times" blamed judith miller for helping startbegan on march 200th, 2013. in addition, there was a controversy about outing cia agent valerie plame, you may remember that that also involved ms. miller. in fact, she spent 85 days in jail because she refused to give up the source in that case. and here's the kicker. ms. miller didn't even write about valerie plame in the "new york times," the source turned out to be vice president cheney's advisor scooty libby who eventually granted judith miller a waiver after she finally released from federal detention in virginia and agreed to testify in front of a federal grand jury about the libby situation. something the "new york times" did not want her to do. miller was forced out by the times. she joins us now. i read the book and i'm exhausted by that lead. in all right, let's take it step-by-step. there is an awful lot of stuff there. first thing is that you looked into the anthrax letters that were sent a few days after the 9/11 attack in 2001, all right? >> i actually got a letter that

joining us tonight is the author pulitzer prize-winning columnist, fox news contributor judith millergreat to have you here. we've talked about this a long time. congratulations! . >> thank you lou you made me do it. >> i'm delighted, i've been looking forward to the book as have so many people. as all that has transpired people don't understand how much they owe you for willing to protect your sources the "new york times" stood up behind you. i remember floyd abrams trying to make it clear what was going on in television throughout the country, when you were otherwise constrained. give us a sense of what drove you to tell the story now? >> i think i had to tell the story because i began coming across new information that really made me reexamine some of what i had reported at the time. some of what i thought at the time, and i was disturbed not only by how what i had done was being portrayed in the media, but also by the notion -- >> you were defending the indefensible, there were weapons of mass destruction when there were not. the administration and the story goes on. >> right. and

please welcome to the program, judith miller. come on out!

( laughter ) why is that wrong? >> that's why i wrote the book. i wrote the book because i hoped that people like you would read it -- >> i did. >> and determine that, 1, it was really, really hard to do this kind of reporting. i wasn't alone. i had lots and lots of company. and that the intelligence sources that we were talking to had really never been wrong before. these were not the people that you had on the screen, you know, dick cheney and george bush. that's not where this information came from. it came from the men and women who had steered me right on al qa

judith miller, fox news contributor joins me now.o see you. >> great to see you. >> boy, did they turn on you. they would have us believe that you would want to put us at war, lies spoon-fed you from the bush administration. you say it's not so? >> it's not so. i wish that i was spoon-fed anything. in fact i got my stories the old-fashioned way, the way you do the way we all do calling a million people, trying to -- having doors slammed in your face and trying to do the best you can with classified information. very hard. >> the intel community was giving you information that they believed was correct but wasn't. when it emerged that it wasn't correct, you wanted to go back and write new stories. >> exactly. >> speaking to that. what happened at the "times"? >> i think the times just wanted the story to go away. there was a lot of criticism from people who were opposed to the war a lot of people on the left who said we were lied into the water. "the new york times" was part of that. i don't think that's true. i don't think it's fair.
