WASHINGTON – The government is investigating whether any laws were broken involving details about the disclosure that Barack Obama's aunt was living in the country illegally. The Associated Press learned late Friday learned that Obama's half aunt, who is from Kenya, was ordered to leave the United States years ago after an immigration judge denied her request for asylum. The woman, Zeituni Onyango (zay-TUHN on-YANG-oh), is living in public housing in Boston and is the half-sister of Obama's late father. The Immigration and Customs Enforcement asked its inspector general and the Office of Professional Responsibility on Saturday to investigate whether any policies were violated when information about Onyango's case was publicly disclosed, ICE spokeswoman Kelly Nantel said.

Isn’t that whistleblowing? You know, like when the NYT or WaPo publish national security secrets?
But a leak on the Bush administration, or Republicans in general, is OK. Amazing!
This is a “leak?” LOL! Who “leaked” it? Was it all those McCain operatives working undercover for the housing authority in Boston, Massachusetts?
Its now against the law to talk about foreigners?

.
Deport her and save the tax payers some money, probably lots of money
Bet they investigate this more vigorously than Joe the Plumber.
I don’t see that disseminating the fact that Obama’s neglected Aunt is living in Boston is any violation of the law. What does seem like a violation of law is ordering a witch hunt to search for people that say things that Obama doesn’t like to hear. The first amendment is under attack by the Obama campaign’s surrogates.
Anything that keeps the story on the front pages is good for us.
Shouldn’t they be investigating how someone who lives on welfare can contribute $260 to Obama?
Shouldn’t they be investigating how it is she’s been living here for so long and collecting welfare?
GEESH...let’s get it straight here! Dang these people irritating me!
I was going to post the same thing, but I see a few of you beat me to it! What a joke, investigate revelations regarding an illegal alien, but state secrets...hey who cares about THOSE?!?
Unbelievable.
McCain/Palin ‘08!
Uh if his Aunt was a bankrobber, childmolestor, Nigerian Lottery Email Spammer— would it still be a leak??
Answer: If it hurts Obama, yes it is a leak.
If it hurts Joe the Plumber shhhhhh don’t talk about it.
“Its now against the law to talk about foreigners?”
It will be if they get away with this! She’s not just a ‘foreigner’...she is a criminal, who broke a judge’s order.
Reporting on a crime is what they don’t want us talking about.
And so it begins...
I guess they didn’t find any wrongdoing in the “Joe the Plumber” case.
How about the Obama illegal credit card donor scam ...
Hussein is alive and well!
You’re not down with the new paradigm. Legal citizens get an anal probe for questioning Obama. Illegals get treated as a state secret when it’s embarassing to Obama.
Yea, let’s ignore the illegal immigrant and go after those who blew the whistle
