WASHINGTON (AP) — The Senate Ethics Committee has ended its intelligence leak investigation of Sen. Richard Shelby, who was under suspicion of giving the news media classified messages from the eve of the Sept. 11 attacks.
In a letter obtained Sunday by The Associated Press, the panel's chairman and vice chairman notify Shelby that it considers the case closed, but they don't say whether they blame him for the information getting out.

Shelby, a Republican, is a former chairman of the Intelligence Committee and was the vice chairman at the time of the alleged leak.

"I have been confident that the committee would dismiss this matter, and I was pleased to learn of their decision to do just that," Shelby said in a statement Sunday.

1. Some republicans are above the law.

They don't play by the same rules as you and I. They live in a world where murder, war, drug trafficking and illegal business procedures are normal routine stuff. All of which they get away with.

3. Boosh can tell the American people on national television

that Saddam had a hand in 911 and then recant he said it (a year later) and it will STILL be believed by a large majority of Americans. That is how powerful these evil people are - even an often repeated lie (which makes him a war criminal now) is believed to be the truth because no one will call Boosh on his lies.

I remember all the hoopla about Shelby and I thought (on the very day I heard it) it would all wash over or be covered up by forces both powerful and dark. I'm still waiting to be disappointed.
