Associated Press won't cooperate with Secret Service investigation of Palin emails

Found this tidbit in the AP's story on the Palin emails

The Secret Service contacted The Associated Press on Wednesday and asked for copies of the leaked e-mails, which circulated widely on the Internet. The AP did not comply.

And whose side is the AP on in this case of illegal invasion of privacy?

The disclosure Wednesday raises new questions about the propriety of the Palin administration's use of nongovernment e-mail accounts to conduct state business. The practice was revealed months ago — prior to Palin's selection as a vice presidential candidate — after political critics obtained internal e-mails documenting the practice by some aides.

Translation: SHE HAD IT COMING!!!

UPDATE: Malkin has the inside story about the hacker(s).
