New York Times reporter Judith Miller played a highly unusual role in
an Army unit assigned to search for dangerous Iraqi weapons, according
to U.S. military officials, prompting criticism that the unit was
turned into what one official called a "rogue operation."

More than a half-dozen military officers said that Miller acted as a
middleman between the Army unit with which she was embedded and Iraqi
National Congress leader Ahmed Chalabi, on one occasion accompanying
Army officers to Chalabi's headquarters, where they took custody of
Saddam Hussein's son-in-law. She also sat in on the initial debriefing
of the son-in-law, these sources say.
