TOPEKA, Kan. - Kansas Attorney General Phill Kline spent more than two years investigating a nationally known abortion provider, but he'll likely leave office next month with little to show for it.

A judge on Wednesday refused to reinstate the 30 criminal charges Kline filed against Dr. George Tiller, and Kline's successor said Thursday that he won't keep the special prosecutor Kline appointed on the case.

Democrat Paul Morrison, who defeated Kline in November and takes office as attorney general on Jan. 8, did not completely rule out an investigation into Tiller.

But he told The Associated Press that any investigation won't involve Kline's special prosecutor. Kline had named Wichita attorney Don McKinney on Wednesday, saying having him as a special prosecutor would keep politics out of the investigation. But McKinney, who had campaigned for Kline, is viewed as a strong anti-abortion activist.

2. Nice to see that even in KS there are a few intelligent people

who understand about the right to privacy and ownership of one's own body.

3. O'Lielly's going to be pissed off when he gets back.

This Kansas AG and special prosecutor are one of his favorite topics that he says 'the factor will keep an eye on.' Oooooh.
