Who knew?

Regarding Troopergate, the WSJ is reporting that Palin was advised by a US Attorney that the situation was "grave" and that she should apologize.

In the letter, written before Sen. John McCain picked the Alaska governor as his running mate, former U.S. Attorney Wevley Shea warned Gov. Palin that "the situation is now grave" and recommended that she and her husband, Todd Palin, apologize for "overreaching or perceived overreaching" for using her position to try to get Trooper Mike Wooten fired from the force.
