Senator Richard Shelby of Alabama has steered at least $50 million over the past decade, including $10 million approved by the Senate yesterday, to military projects benefiting a company owned by one of his largest campaign contributors. Apparently he also likes to keep his friends as Fox News up to date on classified information as well. Fox News chief political correspondent Carl Cameron confirmed to FBI investigators that Shelby verbally classifed information to him during a June 19, 2002, interview, minutes after Shelby’s committee had been given the information in a classified briefing.
