Editorial comment

January 6, 2007
As many readers have no doubt figured out by now, the main purpose of this blog is to inform, as well as to promote CORE's agenda; nothing more, nothing less.
When the announcement came out two days ago that the president of OEA, Gary Allen, will be speaking to CORE on January 18, in view of past history, I was surprised, shocked and totally caught off guard, and am guessing I was not alone.
It is only human nature, due to circumstances, to be highly curious as to what would precipitate this kind of announcement and (as a blogger) I to want to enlighten others who may have reacted similarly.
CORE is a reform organization and, as such, we dig around until we find out the whos, whats, whys, etc., of just about everything that goes on that pertains to us. This is no different. When something like this is dropped in our laps, we want and deserve to know more, and as a publisher, I see it as my job to inform. The fact that information brought out about the announcement has stirred up controversy indicates all the more its significance to this group; all the more reason people need (and have a right) to know.
