Judy miller wore a military uniform? not only did she claim to have a security clearance she would at times don a military uniform.

Crazyness.
Do they mean uniform, or just some nondescript fatigues?

She is also described as having taken control of that WDM unit she ran with for awhile. As in, Miller, the reporter, overrode the decision of the actual unit commander.

Something is seriously fucked up in that story.

Amberglow's link makes me think of the dish rags presented in James Ellroy's novels. Hush Hush indeed. I had no idea this stuff still existed. Very cool.

There is a distinct difference between wearing BDUs/ACUs with no insignia and wearing them with.

It is not uncommon for some people to don these garments, especially when they are either downrange or in the presence of military personell but this is not to be seen as wearing the uniform of the US military.

It is interesting that a former Soldier commented that she wore a uniform. It is also possible that Mr. Foer made a simple mistake and mistook being told she was wearing BDUs and translated that directly into 'uniform'. It is also possible that she had a clearance. They do give them to civilians.
