WASHINGTON (CNN) – A Democratic lawmaker on Saturday asked Homeland Security Secretary Michael Chertoff to investigate a leak to reporters regarding the immigration status of Democratic presidential candidate Barack Obama's aunt, suggesting the Bush administration may have been behind it.

"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," said a letter sent to Chertoff by Rep. John Conyers, D-Michigan, who chairs the House Judiciary Committee.

"Even more troubling, the AP reports that it 'could not establish whether anyone at a political level in the Bush administration or in the McCain campaign had been involved,' a very disturbing (suggestion) indeed," the letter said.

John McCain seems like he is going to owe Dubya a favor or three for this October Surprise.

with 2 wars and a economy in shambles American voters could give 2 shits about Barack's kenyan aunt. The rove tactics are now useless, if that was supposed to be an october suprise, it was pretty weak.

So McCain wasn't all "bitchey" about la times refusing to release the tape?

You really think a comparison can be made between media sources and federal agents leaking information from a national security agency? What else may be leaking to untold sources?

Exactly.

It's pretty sad how much effort was to put into this by the GOP instead of focusing on such things like the issues.

The only problem is that both sides are doing it... Obama isn't all about the issues either. He just hides it a little bit better. Obama runs a smooth campaign, but when it comes down to it, they play the same dirty tricks!
