16490: Karshan re: Chamberlain (fwd)

[Bob Corbett <corbetre@webster.edu>]

From: MKarshan@aol.com

Greg, as you well know I am not the government PR person, nor am I an
attorney, nor am I a lobbyist, as various posts on this list allege.  I am merely the
FOREIGN PRESS LIAISON and only post on the Corbett list as a courtesy.  You,
as foreign press, know darn well how to inquire and where to appropriately
inquire should you really be interested in getting at information or in
documenting being stonewalled.  And I'm sure you know the contact information for the
actual PR folks, Lobby folks and attorneys for the government, not to mention
the Prime Minister, the Minister of Foreign Affairs and all the rest who are
responsible for various tasks and information.

Your posts attacking me and making judgments based on my "silence" are highly
suspect, not to mention alarmist.  Because I am the only government personnel
who identifies themselves on the list, I imagine I will continue to be the
brunt of yours and others grandstanding. To set up a situation where my
non-response to your rantings and ravings in Corbettland equate guilt or conspiracy or
an attempt to hide facts is really stretching things, don't you think mate?
And all this from the man who foremost hates any hint of a "conspiracy"
theory...

As usual, I remain available to actual foreign press through the normal
channels.

Michelle Karshan
Foreign Press Liaison
