John
McCain's campaign and the right-wing smear machine has set their sights on
former U.S. Ambassador to Israel and Obama adviser Daniel Kurtzer. His
sin? Encouraging Syria to accelerate peace negotiations with Israel.
Apparently, to the
McCain campaign, visiting Damascus and talking about peace with Syrians
is just shy of treason. Said McCain spokesman Michael Goldfarb
cynically: "If one of Senator Obama's advisers has been to Damascus, we
just wonder how many have been to Tehran." [1]
