Time to Release Obama's 2003 Rashid Khalidi Videotape from Los Angeles Times Safe

Given Obama's demands that Romney release more of his tax returns, it's also high time for the president to agree to the release of the videotape of a 2003 banquet at which then-state senator Barack Obama spoke of his friendship with Rashid Khalidi, a Palestinian activist. The video, held in a Los Angeles Times safe, has not been shown to the public purportedly for reasons of confidentiality (http://www.latimes.com/news/politics/la-na-video29-2008oct29,0,7568849.story):

"'The Los Angeles Times did not publish the videotape because it was provided to us by a confidential source who did so on the condition that we not release it,' said the newspaper's editor, Russ Stanton. 'The Times keeps its promises to sources.'"

Sorry, Mr. President, but what's sauce for the goose is sauce for the gander.

  1. NYT is a truly idiotic paper. Even its health/cuisine pages are idiotic. Permanently idiotically smiling Bittman has been promoting soy milk, soy cheese, soy burgers, soy beer and soy chocolate, apparently in service of Ahmadinejad. Thank God for prisoners who have objected to this kill the nation conspiracy.
