Rich Lowry or ABC doesnt have to confirm she wrote the letter because she herself said she wrote a letter to ABC  She never said the attributed comments about Israel however  Let me ask a simple question what is the source of the letter with the added Israeli comments  The best I can find is a random Usenet post  If I wanted to smear her I could take the transcript from one of her speeches change a few words around and post it  Not that I disagree with the madeup statement by her but the point is she never made it we have her denying it and the source of the rumour is unknown the best source is some anonymous person in Thailand
