The LA Times refuses to release a tape in its possession showing Barack Obama at a party for Rashid Khalidi. The Times is keeping this potentially damaging video of Obama under lock and key because of an agreement with the source who provided the tape, but Jennifer Rubin suggests at the very least the Times
should do a better job describing the scene. Why not a fuller account of what Obama actually said? Who else was sitting at Obama's table? What did the original report mean by "the warm embrace Obama gave to Khalidi, and words like those at the professor's going-away party, have left some Palestinian American leaders believing that Obama is more receptive to their viewpoint than he is willing to say"?
Meanwhile, Ace promises the blogosphere will pay out big to anyone who can produce the tape.
