	Kerry sex scandal lurking? Internet report cites suspicions By WILLIAM BUNCH bunchw@phillynews.com Here we go again? The worlds of politics and the media were all atwitter yesterday over a report on the popular Internet site, the Drudge Report, that Massachusetts Sen. John Kerry - the Democratic presidential front-runner - may be brought down by a sex scandal. Six years ago, it was a similar item on the Drudge Report that brought the world's attention to the affair between then-President Bill Clinton and intern Monica Lewinsky - sparking the scandal that led to Clinton's impeachment. Late last night, Matt Drudge - the conservative gossipmeister who runs the site - said several leading TV networks and newspapers had been trying to confirm an alleged relationship between Kerry, who is married to ketchup heiress Teresa Heinz Kerry, and a young woman that started in spring 2001. An earlier item said the woman had worked for the Associated Press for a short time. "After being approached by a top news producer, the woman fled to Africa, where she remains, the Drudge Report can reveal," the Web site breathlessly reported. Drudge also suggested that the woman left the country at Kerry's behest. But there's one huge problem with the story, which raced through newsrooms across the country like a computer virus: Nobody has been able to confirm that it was true. "This rumor has been out there for months and months," Neil Oxman, the prominent Democratic consultant based in Philadelphia, said last night. He said there were various versions, including several that had Kerry dating a young woman well before the 2000 election, when Al Gore looked at Kerry as a potential running mate. Oxman said there's just no way to judge whether the story is really damaging to the Kerry campaign until any facts come out. Even stranger, the Drudge item said that Wesley Clark, the retired general and former candidate, spread the rumor by telling a group of stunned reporters that "Kerry will implode over an intern issue." But then it was reported last night that Clark today will endorse Kerry - the decorated Vietnam War candidate who has captured 13 of 15 Democratic primaries and caucuses. Indeed, other accounts last night said Clark was instead referring to Kerry's reportedly wild bachelor days between the breakup of his first marriage and his 1996 wedding to Teresa Heinz Kerry. Kerry reportedly dated actress Morgan Fairchild and other starlets. Numerous fingers for the uproar were pointed last night at Clark's top aide, Chris Lehane, who was Gore's campaign press secretary in 2000. Washington insider Craig Crawford of Congressional Quarterly said in a widely circulated e-mail that Lehane had been "shopping" the story to reporters for a long time. "The Kerry camp has long expected to deal with this, and have assured party leaders they can handle it," he said. If the story were true, Kerry would have a harder time handling his wife, the widow of Pennsylvania Sen. John Heinz, who was killed in a 1991 midair collision in Lower Merion. She told Elle magazine that she warned her first husband on the subject of adultery: "If you ever get something, I'll maim you. I won't kill you. I'll maim you."

Editor & Publisher: Will Press Pounce on Drudge's Kerry Rumor? ***Reached by E&P for comment, AP spokesman Jack Stokes said, "We simply don't comment on stories we are pursuing or not pursuing."

Leonard Downie Jr., executive editor of The Washington Post, acknowledged that his staff had begun to dig deeper into the life and career of Kerry, but said he had not heard anything about an alleged infidelity. "What we're finding, I don't know," he said. "This is the first we are looking into him this way."***

June 2003 - [AdvocacyNet] NEWS: AP Interns Report from the Field*** NEWS FROM THE ADVOCACY PROJECT - EYE-WITNESS REPORTS FROM THE MIDDLE EAST AND THE BATTLE AGAINST HUMAN TRAFFICKING FEATURE IN LAUNCH OF AP INTERNSHIP PROGRAM

'When I see the columns of smoke rising over Gaza, I now have personal memories of the people and the place. I remember walking past Israeli tanks in Beit Hanoun on the way to Gaza City and seeing the hovels that people live in. I remember Gaza City - how beautiful the sea is, how wonderful the fish is and how warm the people are.'

This extract is taken from the latest online diary entry or 'blog' by Caitlin Williams, one of eight interns who are working this summer with partner organizations of the Advocacy Project (AP). Ms. Williams is working with Middle East Nonviolence and Democracy (MEND), an AP partner in the Palestinian territories that promotes non-violent resistance to occupation. In her latest report she also describes her feelings at the latest cycle of violence that has followed the relaunch of the Middle East peace process, or Road Map.

In addition to the territories, AP interns are currently working in Bosnia, Kosovo, the Czech Republic, Italy, Nigeria, Nepal, and Lebanon. In one of the most innovative features of the program, all interns are posting regular diary entries, or 'blogs', directly onto the AP web site.

Julie Lee, who is studying for a Masters degree at Georgetown University, is working with Transnational AIDS/SIDA Prevention among Migrant Prostitutes in Europe Project (TAMPEP), an Italian organization based in Turin. In her latest entry, Ms. Lee describes accompanying the TAMPEP 'Search Unit' as it patrols the streets of Turin looking for foreign sex workers, many of whom have been trafficked into prostitution:

'We had brochures for every native language that the sex workers in Turin might speak. The brochures were self-help guides on topics ranging from the prevention of HIV/AIDS and other STDs, to protection against violent clients, to instructions on the use of condoms. The little kits consisted of items for the practice of safer sex. Our first encounter was with an Albanian woman by the side of a major road...'

Introduction - AP Interns Summer 2003 ***Early in 2003, the Advocacy Project decided to extend the package of support it offers to partners, by including an internship program. AP approached several partners and asked whether they would be interested in hosting an intern for the summer months of 2003. The response was largely positive. As a result, AP put out the word to graduate students at the School of Foreign Service at Georgetown University. It was a natural place to go. Students at the School are of a very high quality, and many have worked for non-profits, or in the Peace Corps, before returning to university. AP’s Coordinator teaches at Georgetown and AP has also co-sponsored a series of human rights events with Georgetown’s Institute for the Study of International Migration (ISIM).

AP received inquiries from over twenty graduate students. Almost all came from Georgetown, although we also heard from two students at Yale and Columbia University, who were interested in working in Nigeria and Bosnia, respectively.***

If this on pay-per-view, I guess I'll have to break down and get cable.
Oops, I forgot. I'd have to go on welfare first, then I get the cable for free.
