Judith Milleris an American journalist and writer. She worked in The New York Times Washington bureau, where she became embroiled in controversy after her coverage of Iraq's Weapons of Mass Destructionprogram both before and after the 2003 invasion was discovered to have been based on the inaccurate information in the intelligence investigations, particularly those stories that were based on sourcing from the now-disgraced Ahmed Chalabi.

I used to say, 'Are you kidding?' about some prices for collectibles. I don't anymore because anything that screams its era is collectible.

He was pressing about what you would say. When I wouldn't give him an assurance that you would exonerate Libby, if you were to cooperate, he then immediately gave me this, 'Don't go there,' or, 'We don't want you there.'
You can't be as much in the news as I am and go on with reporting as usual.

I think when you get interested in antiques, the most frustrating thing is that books don't have enough photos. When you go to a flea market or garage sale, you see lots of things you've never seen before and you have no idea what the price is going to be or should be.

Reporters, even flawed reporters, should not be jailed for protecting even flawed sources.
You become an expert by working hard. We've got fantastic museums, collections and antique shows. You can go and just start looking. That's the great thing about knowledge. If you collect Doulton figures, you know about the rare ones.
When I did my first price guide in 1979, publications weren't interested in mentioning it. Now I get phone calls weekly if not daily from publications and television shows who want to know what's hot, how to get started in antiques, and the best way to buy antiques.
