Sen. Shelby (R-AL) Leaks to Fox, FBI Concludes

Apparently, Shelby gave them classified information which, minutes earlier, had been handed him in secret Senate Intelligence Committee hearings by NSA. It was broadcast on FOX within 30 minutes -- before they'd convened for the day, and quickly enough that the briefing NSA agent dressed-down the committee for handing it out so quickly.

Note the article contradicts itself -- at the top, it says FOX Chief Political correspondent Carl Cameron confirmed to the FBI that Shelby was the source of the leak. However, at the bottom, it quotes Cameron as saying he did not confirm the leak.

If Fox did roll over on its Republican sources to the FBI, then you can bet Republicans will stop leaking to FOX news. And won't that change things.
