for individuals, for companies? i doubt it because i don t know the extent of the damage. we re hoping that some of this can be curtailed. if we can keep the oil away from the marine life and the beaches, then that will be a tremendous success. but we re well away from doing that. jane senator richard shelby is about to board an aircraft to take a look at, do an over flight. senator, if you ll be kind enough to update us, that would be great. we appreciate your time. thank you. jon: a fox news alert and a development in connection with those nine michigan militia members accused of plotting against the u.s., a judge there issues a 36-page ruling that these nine members of the militia will be allowed to make bail. they ll be allowed to get out of jail until their trial. the leader, joshua stone,
