I have to correct something that I posted earlier:
It turns out that, after Governor Palin was selected as the Republican vice-presidential candidate, members of the Alaska legislature who had voted to initiate the investigation moved to delay the release of its findings until after the election. Five of them even sued to stop the investigation altogether.
You must consider the Alaska state legislature to be not only throughly corrupt but also utterly irrational and foolish to think that it would initiate an investigation and then suppress the findings
