More news from California
Jennifer Rubin has uncovered more details of the infamous letter that California Republican Senate candidate Tom Campbell wrote in support of 'Palestinian' terror supporter Sami al-Arian. You really have to read the whole thing to follow along. But here are the conclusions of the other two campaigns. The Carly Fiorina campaign is calling for Campbell to correct the record and change his website: “Tom Campbell has refused to release this letter despite repeated calls for him to do so. Now we know why. The content of the letter itself, and the date on which it was written reveal that what Tom Campbell told voters in Friday’s debate about his relationship with Al-Arian—and just as importantly, what he knew about him at the time—is quite simply false.” A Fiorina aide goes further, telling me: “Tom Campbell flat out lied in the debate about what he knew and when he knew it, and he flat out lies on his new Campbell ‘facts’ website — it’s so brazen you have to wonder he’s convinced himself that he doesn’t have a terrorism problem.”Hmmm.
Suffice it to say, we are off to the races on this latest revelation.
UPDATE: Chuck DeVore’s Communications Director has chimed in with a statement including this: “We’ve known from the start that Tom Campbell has a problematic past with Islamist radicals, and this just fills in some details. What’s troubling is that two of the three Republicans running for US Senate in California this year have a troubling history in this regard. While Campbell was a darling of the anti-Israel set, Carly Fiorina was presiding over illegal technology transfers to Iran, and delivering paeans to Islamic civilization while the fires at the World Trade Center were still smoldering.” Fiorina has denied any illegal technology transfers occured to Iran during her tenure at Hewlett Packard.
For the record, as of this writing (which is being done live - not scheduled) none of the three campaigns has answered my list of questions. If any of them does, I will let you know.

that's odd Carl, when I contacted the DeVore people about your questions, they told me that they either had already responded or were responding (I don't remember which), so I didn't pursue it any more
Orde,
If I had gotten it, I would have published it. Regardless of what it said.
