To the Editor,

It has come to my attention that the Los Angeles Times is in possession of a tape which contains a discussion by Senator Barack Obama of Professor Rashid Khalidi, and that, inexplicably, the Times has chosen not to distribute this information to its readers or to the general public. I am writing to implore you to please release this tape so that we voters can examine the content and determine for ourselves whether it should influence our decision next Tuesday. Given that the dissemination of important public information is the core function of a newspaper like the Times, and that the Times has historically shown no such restraint with similar material, I would also be interested to hear an explanation as to why your organization decided to keep this tape’s contents a secret.

Thank you,
