If some Al Capone like character calls a reporter to say that a "hit" may happen on "X" person at "Y" time and place and the reporter then calls half a dozen "capos" to inform them of said "hit" to confirm and verify that it may happen, is that a journalist doing a good job worthy of Bill of Rights protection or is that a co-conspirator?

Much has been made of the fact that Miller didn't write a story on Plame, but what if that was never her intention or role? Just as she and some in the current Bush group have been made out to be dupes of Chalabi, maybe she and they were duped in the same way some were duped by the yellowcake documents. Remember, these people, no matter how much they blunder, never seem to be punished for their blunders. It's not a whistleblower that's being protected here by journalist Miller. It a hitman doing a hit. Miller's 1st may be most perps 5th.
