Jack Shafer was the first major media critic to systematically deconstruct Miller's WMD reporting. Writing at Slate, he published at least six articles from 2003 calling her reporting 'wretched.' Miller later described his criticism as 'assaults' and 'personal attacks' in her 2015 memoir. Shafer's early skepticism was vindicated by the NYT's May 2004 editors' note.
