How, exactly, is it abdicating their responsibilities to have not investigated this? I don't recall seeing any investigation of McCain's distant relatives or Bush's or Clinton's. A bedouin is claiming to have an undefined blood relationship to the President-elect. So?
Out of curiosity, what could we find out from investigating this that would be even vaugely important or even interesting? If Obama grew up with the bedouin and the dude is a high level al-queda operative and stays in touch with Obama, sure, I could see that being interesting. But I don't even see the guy claiming that he's ever met Obama. Judah On Wed, Nov 12, 2008 at 3:49 PM, Robert Munn <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > And no, I am not making it up.
