Terrorism: McCain loved one sows controversy
The team of the Democratic candidate for the White House Barack Obama has vilified a close friend of his adversary John McCain for having said that a new terrorist attack in the United States would be beneficial to the republican camp.
McCain campaign team member Charlie Black told Fortune magazine abouta terrorist attack in the United States: "Certainly it would be a big advantage for him" (John McCain).
On Monday, he apologized and the Republican candidate, campaigning in California, said: "If he said that, and I don't know the context, I strongly disagree."
But that did not satisfy the Obama team, one of whose spokespeople, Bill Burton, said: this remark is "a shame, and it is exactly the type of policy that must change".
Burton also added that Barack Obama was "in favor of a debate on terrorism with John McCain, who fully supported the policy of Bush, who turned us away from Al Qaeda, who failed to bring him before bin Laden justice and that made us less secure. "
According to information from a pool of journalists following John McCain, Charlie Black read a statement on Monday in which he said he "deeply regrets" his "inappropriate" comments
