At some point, “you go with the information you have,” Miller said, in response to a question from the audience about accuracy and dicey sources. “On WMD, what I was reporting reflected accurately what the intelligence community believed at the time.”
According to documents released by WikiLeaks, more than 100,000 Iraqis have been killed during the so-called Operation Iraqi Freedom. The questioner was rewarded with a smattering of applause and a wave of catcalls.

Wikileaks has let out some important and secret information over the last few years. If you don't know what wikileaks is, this article gives an explanation on it.

If you don't want someone to find out about it don't do it. You can't keep secrets when you are doing questionable things. It will come back to bite you.
“On WMD, what I was reporting reflected accurately what the intelligence community believed at the time.”
This comment by Judith Miller seems disingenuous. Rather, at best, it was that such segments of the intelligence community that she was allowed access to promoted that viewpoint, and she was manipulated successfully. When will she address that perspective?
