Subject: Re: Jamal was voted in
I know about the article as I received the electronic version of
the Monitor last week and I have heard from the Clantons about a
meeting held between them, Jamal and President Maurer I think
over Memorial week end.  I'm not sure of the time frame, but
I still think it is interested that in 1991 he was expelled
without even a chance to speak before the convention.  Searcy
Ewell of Arkansas was the only voting delegate to speak out
against this.  But now Jamal is voted back in.  I'm not familiar
with the original issue to comment one way or the other on the
reasons, but I felt at the time that at least he had the right
to be heard even if he did do something that warranted expulsion.
Now he is voted back into the organization after being humiliated by
the national leadership in 1991.  I still think they should
apologize to him for what was done.
I don't know Jamal very well although I have met him, and it is
even possible that he did not handle things in the best way
he could have, and I'm glad both sides have resolved their differences, but 
f
you think about it, what does this say about our leadership?  When they say
"expel," with only one exception, all delegates vote to
expel.  But when they say "re-admit," everyone votes to
re-admit.  Interesting!
