Sorry if this is incomplete or has been posted or inaccurate. I only heard it out of the corner of my ear. My first thought is that the media is trying hard to "level the playing field" by having someone on the Republican side under investigation to even out the Berger thing.

The timing is suspect.

What with Berger getting caught with his Hanes full.

Maybe something will pop up on Google News. Afterall, they spotlight news that is good for the Dims.

Shelby couldn't turn *anything* over to anyone. At that point in time he was on the Senate Intel Committee, cleared for the classified intel that no one else got to see in the Senate.

...so he could hardly be in trouble for not turning anything over.

From the South Mississippi Sun Herald: When too much secrecy jeopardizes security
No surprise, then, that September 11 commission chairman Thomas Kean, former Republican governor of New Jersey, noted that "three-quarters of what I read that was classified shouldn't have been." Or that last year, when a congressional committee investigating the 9/11 attacks was forced to black out an entire part of its report said to deal with Saudi Arabia, former Senate Intelligence Committee Chairman Richard Shelby, R-Ala., commented that he had carefully reviewed those sections "and my judgment is that 90 to 95 percent could be released and not compromise our intelligence in any way."

I think the spin is now, "Yeah, the stuff Berger stole was classified, but it shouldn't have been."

A Google search found this from the WaPo on January 23, 2004:

"The Justice Department's 18-month investigation into the leak of classified intercepted messages is focusing on Sen. Richard C. Shelby (R-Ala.), who was chairman of the Senate Select Committee on Intelligence at the time of the disclosure, according to a law enforcement official and congressional sources".

It's archived but the page that it's linked to is empty.

This is about a leak of information of phone intercepts AFTER Sept. 11. This is what everyone speculated was Hatch's fault, but it turns out it is Shelby who is under investigation.

I wish they would lock up this two faced punk. I've never trusted this sneaky sob.

Breaking story just posted under Drudge. Seems he leaked CLASSIFIED information to CARL CAMERON of Fox News. Carl told FBI Investigators when interrogated. Amazing how easy a reporter gives up his SOURCE when the source is in the GOP. Standby for 24/7 Shelby attacks with the MEDIA doing everything possible to connect Shelby somehow to GW and the ADMINISTRATION.

It's a headline on Drudge with few details. I remember reading a snipit about this last last week.

Probably something the democrats dreamed up to take the heat off berger or so that they can go back to their "He did it too" thing when they cannot refutr the facts.
