You've got your papers mixed up. It's the St. Petersburg Times that has been a Sami al-Arian supporter from day one. The Tampa Tribune and this reporter has been writing critically about Sami al-Arian since 1995, and have taken much heat because of it.
You've got your papers mixed up. It's the St. Petersburg Times that has been a Sami al-Arian supporter from day one. St Petersburg Times (aka Pravda of the South) is one of the top antiamerican and leftist papers in the country. Their subscription is going down to the degree they can not give it away anymore, I was a subscriber in the past, long ago cancelled the subscription, they still throw their propaganda paper on my yard a few time a week.
