The attack poodles just lost their queen. Good Riddance

NEW YORK (Reuters) - New York Times reporter Judith Miller, a journalist at the center of the CIA leak controversy that led to the indictment of a White House aide, will leave the paper, the New York Times said on Wednesday.

Miller's lawyers and the paper negotiated a severance package, the terms of which were not disclosed. As part of the agreement, the paper will publish a letter from Miller explaining her position, The Times said on its Web site.

Miller, who worked at the New York Times for 28 years, went to jail for 85 days this summer rather than name her source in the CIA leak case.
