Matt, wrong place... (0.00 / 0)

Nobody here cares about this story. Nobody needs an explanation. It's a yawner and you're just taking their bait, just like the MSM.

Wrong place? ... (4.00 / 3)

wrong place to expose Bushies and the AP for unethical behavior? .. wrong to expose Ron Fournier .. Liz "Sprinkles" Sidoti and Nedra Pickler for the pox on Democracy that they are?

Obviously... (4.00 / 1)

it's the right place to do that, but not at the cost of keeping the story alive. This is a complete distraction from the issues that helped Obama. If the media goes on to focus on who leaked during the next two days, it will only hurt Obama. Sometimes you gotta know when to shut it for your own good.

Rep. Conyers Writes to Chertoff Re Leaks (4.00 / 2)

TPM has the letter:

Dear Mr. Chertoff:

I was startled to read in today's Associated Press that a "federal law enforcement official" has leaked information about an immigration case involving a relative of Senator Obama. Even more troubling, the AP reports that it could not "could not establish whether anyone at a political level in the Bush administration or in the McCain campaign had been involved," a very disturbing suggesting indeed. This leak is deplorable and I urge you to take immediate action to investigate and discipline those responsible.

I note that this is not the first leak of law enforcement information apparently designed to influence the coming Presidential election -- in recent weeks law enforcement sources leaked information about an alleged investigation of a community services organization, a leak that the Department of Justice informs me is now under investigation by the Department's Office of the Inspector General and Professional Responsibility.

Such leaks are deeply harmful to the political process, and the American people expect and deserve better from their government and its law enforcement agencies.

Sincerely,

John Conyers, Jr.

This is another example of how the Republicans use the government to hold on to power.  And, they call Obama a Communist?

I applaud Matt for his post.

I think she's his father's half-sister (0.00 / 0)

which makes the story even more useless. If Obama has met his father only once, what makes the MSM/Republicans think he has a close relationship with this woman (or that he knew she was undocumented and chose to do nothing about it)?
