The Times won't can Miller because it is "working" (as in "work it, girl") the same management style as the Bush administration.
Blair and Raines were different--they had to be purged in an effort to get beyond the outright fabrication scandals, and the soot that they left on the paper's bright public facade.
With Miller, (as everyone has said, I'm just spewing forth for my own satisfaction), it's being presented as a case of "sloppy" reporting in the service of the paper's pre-existing biases, the depths of which will not be plumbed, at least not this year.
