‘You literally caused the Iraq War’: Internet rips Judith Miller for blaming war deaths on Chelsea Manning

Fox News contributor Judith Miller raised eyebrows Tuesday after criticizing President Barack Obama’s decision to commute Chelsea Manning’s prison sentence.

The Obama administration announced it would commute Manning’s 35-year sentence, meaning the former U.S. Army soldier will only serve five more months in jail. Manning was convicted in July 2013 under the espionage act after leaking classified military and diplomatic documents to WikiLeaks.

Miller, the self-proclaimed “First Amendment activist” whose reporting on nonexistent weapons of mass destruction for the New York Times served to legitimize the Bush Administration’s push for the Iraq War, railed against President Obama’s commutation.

It's not that Judith Miller thinks it's BAD to publish things that get people killed. It's that she's competitive. https://twitter.com/JMfreespeech/status/821478106145976321
