University of Illinois to Release Obama Records (Bill Ayers, Annenberg Challenge)
AP via Google News ^ | Friday, August 22, 2008 | Pete Yost

The University of Illinois said Friday it is releasing records of Barack Obama's service to a nonprofit organization linked to former 1960s radical William Ayers.

Supporters of John McCain have been trying to exploit the tie between Obama and Ayers, with a conservative group spending $2.8 million on an ad focusing on Ayers. Ayers' Weatherman group took credit for bombings that included nonfatal blasts at the Pentagon and U.S. Capitol four decades ago.

The records of the Chicago Annenberg Challenge, an organization that Obama chaired and that Ayers co-founded, will be made available to the public Tuesday, the University of Illinois at Chicago said in a statement.

Why the sudden change of heart...did they get a call from Clinton Inc.?

They probably went through them and there is no dirt there. That's the only thing I can fathom.

I heard a man on Levin this week that had apparently asked for the records. He initially had complete cooperation from the UOC. Since the records were so voluminous, they sent a list of all the information and what box it is in. I guess so they could pull the files ahead of his arrival. Of course, all that cooperation evaporated.

My point being, if this man has a list of records and now they are missing??? Would this matter??

Nah...didn't think so.

Yep, echoing comments on the locked thread ... “the document cull and shred project is complete, come on in and look now!”

Obama eulogize Saul Mendelson

Another communist, socialist DSA member. I am beginning to think Chicago is a commie Island in the State of Ill.

The same group did just plain old fires as well.

Recently some Earth First terrorists got sent to prison for a long time for just plain old fires.

Not too late for Ayers.

CNN points out this scumbag commie terrorist’s BOMBINGS of the US Capitol and Pentagon were “nonfatal”. Incredible.

‘bout time. I don’t think there’ll be much left to them.

You forget that Stanley Kurtz has a research finding aid from the UIC library that houses the papers. I think that means that if anything is missing he will know it immediately...right? I question the news item appearing late on Friday. Usually it means that bad news is being downplayed or allowed to be diluted over a long weekend. They are hoping that it will be ignored by all the Veep hoopla, I’ll bet! By the way, the library is probably not open on Monday, hence the Tuesday release. I could also be entirely wrong.

Does this mean they’ve been sanitized already?

Archical finds aids do not typically list the exact number of pages in the collection. Depending on the level of description, it may not be useful in determing if items have been deleted. There is more to this (from an archivist’s point of view) and it is highly unethical. I don’t want to get into the details, but the archivist should be fired.

nonfatal bombing

These days just SAYING the word "bomb" in the wrong place is a major deal. I imagine the Pentagon would be one of those places.

[... Why the sudden change of heart... ]

Probably wasn’t a change of heart.
More like a change of documents.

Think Sandy Burglar.

Think Hillary and DNC Convention starting Monday. I’ll be tuning out of TV next week for health reasons. I have Obama Nation to read. FR will be one of my sources of updates. I won’t be able to endure the fawning, tingling sensations, gushing adoration of the MSM for this performance.
