The Washington Post is reporting that Alambama Senator Richard Shelby
"divulged classified intercepted messages" to Fox News when he was on the Senate Intelligence Committee.
Federal investigators have concluded, according to the Post, that Shelby passed the info to soon-to-be-former Fox News political correspondent Carl Cameron
This will -- or at least should be -- a huge story over the next few days. It will be interesting to see if all the media dittoheads give this the play they gave the "Sandy Burglar" episode, given the timing of that story's release and the ham-handedness of the conduct Sandy is accused of.
As an American, as a patriot, as a guy who once wore his country's uniform, I don't have a lot of patience for anyone, of any political stripe, who leaks classified info -- especially for partisan political reasons. I don't have all the circumstances, of course, but the fact that it's a far right Republican senator leaking the info to Faux News, of all places -- well, that should at least make the average Joe's Spidey sense tingle.
Anyway, as for how all this will or at least should play out, check out FreeRepublic.com of all places. The erstwhile posters have their priorities straight. They're already asking themselves the question of the day, as at least one of them sees it: "Is the Governor of Alabama a Republican?"
