    McCain's Connection to Khalidi!

    By rubbina  |  Posted October 29, 2008  
     
    McCain has his own connection to Khalidi. In 1993, McCain became chairman of the International Republican Institute. He still chairs that respected organization. That same year, Khalidi helped found the Center for Palestine Research and Studies, self-described as "an independent academic research and policy analysis institution" created to meet "the need for active Palestinian scholarship on issues related to Palestine." (Its archived website is HERE.) Khalidi was on the board of trustees through 1999. According to tax returns the McCain-chaired IRI funded the organization Khalidi founded and served on to the tune of $448,873 in 1998 (click HERE to see the tax return)* as first reported by Seth Couter Walls at HuffPo. The IRI continued to give money to the CPRS after Khalidi left the group as well.
