Hypocrisy on Hamas: McCain Was for Talking Before
He Was Against It." ... "Two years ago, just after Hamas won the Palestinian
parliamentary elections, I interviewed [2008 Election Republican Presidential
Candidate John] McCain for the British network Sky News's "World News Tonight"
program. Here is the crucial part of our exchange:" ... "I asked: "Do you
think that American diplomats should be operating the way they have in
the past, working with the Palestinian government if Hamas is now in charge?""
... "McCain answered: "They're the government; sooner or later we are going
to have to deal with them, one way or another, and I understand why this
administration and previous administrations had such antipathy towards
Hamas because of their dedication to violence and the things that they
not only espouse but practice, so . . . but it's a new reality in the Middle
East. I think the lesson is people want security and a decent life and
decent future, that they want democracy. Fatah was not giving them that.""
... "Given that exchange, the new John McCain might say that Hamas should
be rooting for the old John McCain to win the presidential election. The
old John McCain, it appears, was ready to do business with a Hamas-led
government, while both [2008 Election Democratic Presidential Candidates
Hillary] Clinton and [Barack] Obama have said that Hamas must change its
policies toward Israel and terrorism before it can have diplomatic relations
with the United States." ... "Even if McCain had not favored doing business
with Hamas two years ago, he had no business smearing Barack Obama. But
given his stated position then, it is either the height of hypocrisy or
a case of political amnesia for McCain to inject Hamas into the American
election." -By James P. Rubin

on Capitol Hill in addition to [Virginia Democratic Senator Jim] Webb.
A vote on the proposal is expected before the summer." ... "But the bill,
which would dramatically increase educational compensation for American
troops, has run into some unexpected resistance, both at the Pentagon and
now from McCain, who has remained silent on the issue, saying he had not
studied the bill close enough." ... "Pressure had mounted on McCain to
support the bill — a veterans group, which backs the legislation, delivered
a petition to McCain's Senate office, signed by 30,000 veterans." ... "[Matt]
Flavin joined the military out of patriotism shortly after 9/11, went to
Officer Candidate School and, over the next five years, served tours in

and does not think most troops do, Flavin supports the legislation." ...

suffering are the people who could use these benefits."" (1, 2,

- "McCain's
Convention Chair Worked for Burma's Military Junta."
... "John McCain's choice to manage the GOP convention this summer is lobbyist
Doug Goodyear, whose firm once represented Burma's repressive regime."
... "After [2008 Election Republican Presidential Candidate] John McCain
nailed down the Republican nomination in March, his campaign began wrestling
with a sensitive personnel issue: who would manage this summer's GOP convention
in St. Paul, Minn. [Minnesota]? The campaign recently tapped Doug Goodyear
for the job, a veteran operative and Arizonan who was chosen for his "management
experience and expertise," according to McCain press secretary Jill Hazelbaker.
But some allies worry that Goodyear's selection could fuel perceptions
that McCain—who has portrayed himself as a crusader against special interests—is
surrounded by lobbyists. Goodyear is CEO of DCI Group, a consulting firm
that earned $3 million last year lobbying for ExxonMobil [oil corporation],
General Motors and other clients." ... "Potentially more problematic: the
firm was paid $348,000 in 2002 to represent Burma's military junta, which
had been strongly condemned by the State Department for its human-rights
record and remains in power today. Justice Department lobbying records
show DCI pushed to "begin a dialogue of political reconciliation" with
the regime. It also led a PR [public relations] campaign to burnish the
junta's image, drafting releases praising Burma's efforts to curb the drug
trade and denouncing "falsehoods" by the [Republican President] Bush administration
that the regime engaged in rape and other abuses. " -By

Pushed Land Swap That Benefits Backer." ... "[2008
Election Republican Presidential Candidate and Arizona Senator] Sen. John
McCain championed legislation that will let an Arizona rancher trade remote
grassland and ponderosa pine forest here for acres of valuable federally
owned property that is ready for development, a land swap that now stands
to directly benefit one of his top presidential campaign fundraisers]."
... "Initially reluctant to support the swap, the Arizona Republican became
a key figure in pushing the deal through Congress after the rancher and
his partners hired lobbyists that included McCain's 1992 Senate campaign
manager, two of his former Senate staff members (one of whom has returned
as his chief of staff), and an Arizona insider who was a major McCain donor
and is now bundling campaign checks." ... "When McCain's legislation passed
in November 2005, the ranch owner gave the job of building as many as 12,000
homes to SunCor Development, a firm in Tempe, Ariz. [Arizona], run by Steven
A. Betts, a longtime McCain supporter who has raised more than $100,000
for the presumptive Republican nominee. Betts said he and McCain never
discussed the deal." ... "The Audubon Society described the exchange as
the largest in Arizona history. The swap involved more than 55,000 acres
of land in all, including rare expanses of desert woodland and pronghorn
antelope habitat. The deal had support from many local officials and the
Arizona Republic newspaper for its expansion of the Prescott National Forest.
But it brought an outcry from some Arizona environmentalists when it was
proposed in 2002, partly because it went through Congress rather than a
process that allowed more citizen input." ... "Although the bill called
for the two parcels to be of equal value, a federal forestry official told
a congressional committee that he was concerned that "the public would
not receive fair value" for its land. A formal appraisal has not yet begun.
A town official opposed to the swap said other Yavapai Ranch land sold
nine years ago for about $2,000 per acre, while some of the prime commercial
land near a parcel that the developers will get has brought as much as
$120,000 per acre." ... "In an interview, Betts said there is "absolutely
no" connection between his contributions to McCain's presidential bids
and the deal involving rancher Fred Ruskin and the Yavapai Ranch Limited
Partnership." ... "Betts is among a string of donors who have benefited
from McCain-engineered land swaps. In 1994, the senator helped a lobbyist
for land developer Del Webb Corp. pursue an exchange in the Las Vegas [Nevada]
area, according to the Center for Public Integrity. McCain sponsored two
bills, in 1991 and 1994, sought by donor Donald R. Diamond that yielded
the developer thousands of acres in trade for national parkland." ... "In
the late 1990s, McCain promoted a deal in Arizona's Tonto National Forest
involving property part-owned by Great American Life Insurance, a company
run by billionaire Carl H. Lindner Jr., a prolific contributor to national
political parties and presidential candidates." ... "In Arizona, SunCor
is a subsidiary of Pinnacle West, the state's largest power company. Betts,
as Ruskin described him, "politically is a very powerful guy in the state.""
... "Officials from the company and its subsidiaries have accounted for
$100,000 in contributions to McCain's political campaigns over the years,
records show." (1, 2)

“smear” politics, and defended himself from critics who question whether
he is capable of being commander-in-chief, during a wide-ranging interview
with CNN’s Wolf Blitzer — his first sit-down since the Indiana and North
Carolina primaries." ... "“This is offensive, and I think it's disappointing,”
Obama told Blitzer, when asked his thoughts about McCain’s comments that
the terrorist organization Hamas wants Obama to be president. “Because
John McCain always says ‘I am not going to run that kind of politics,’
and to engage in that kind of smear is unfortunate, particularly because
my policy toward Hamas has been no different than his." ... "“I’ve said
it’s a terrorist organization and we should not negotiate with them unless
they recognize Israel, renounce violence, and unless they are willing to
abide by previous accords between the Palestinians and the Israelis. So
for him to toss out comments like that I think is an example of him losing
his bearings as he pursues this nomination. We don’t need name calling
in this debate.”" ... "(Related: Obama:
World wants to see U.S. lead)" ... "On the topic of national security,
Obama said that the American people are looking for a leader with “good
judgment” — a trait the Democratic presidential hopeful said he possessed."
... "“Whether it’s my judgment on Iraq and recognizing that that was going
to be a strategic blunder, to my insistence that we need to talk not just
to countries we like, but countries we don’t, to my assessment in terms
of how we had over-invested in the Musharraf government in Pakistan and
that was going to be setting us up for failure later on,” Obama said. “I
think I’ve consistently displayed the kind of judgment that the American
people are looking for in the next president.”" -By

"Did
McCain Flip-Flop On Torture?" ... "This week, [2008
Election Republican Presidential Candidate and Arizona Senator] Sen. John
McCain, R-Ariz., voted
against an intelligence
bill that stated:" ... ""No individual in the custody or under
the effective control of an element of the intelligence community or instrumentality
thereof, regardless of nationality or physical location, shall be subject
to any treatment or technique of interrogation not authorized by the United
States Army Field Manual on Human Intelligence Collector Operations.""
... "Andrew Sullivan, who has written admiringly of McCain's anti-torture
position in the past, describes
himself as "heartbroken."" ... ""I simply cannot see any explanation
for this except politics - that McCain feels the need to appease the Republican
far right at this point in time,...McCain has indeed been a leader in preventing
the military from torturing terror suspects, and in banning waterboarding.
But by leaving this lacuna in the law, he gives this president the space
he wants. As president himself, of course, McCain would surely instruct
the CIA to uphold the American way of interrogation, and not to adopt techniques
once used by the Gestapo and prosecuted by the US as war crimes. But we
now know that there will be one difference between Obama and McCain in
November. One will never tolerate torture; the other just did."" -By
