What we do know is that high-ranking public employees at the University of Illinois -- Chicago are restricting access to document in their library that will likely shed light on that relationship -- but only after a conservative journalist/commentator attempted to gain access to the materials.
The Special Collections section of the Richard J. Daley Library agreed to let me read them, but just before I boarded my flight to Chicago, the top library officials mysteriously intervened to bar access. Circumstances strongly suggest the likelihood that Bill Ayers himself may have played a pivotal role in this denial. Ayers has long taught at UIC, where the Chicago Annenberg Challenge offices were housed, rent-free. Ayers likely arranged for the files of the Chicago Annenberg Challenge to be housed in the UIC library, and may well have been consulted during my unsuccessful struggle to gain access to the documents. Let me, then, explain in greater detail what the Chicago Annenberg Challenge (CAC) records are, and how I have been blocked from seeing them.
Given that Ayers is an employee of the University, it is very possible that there is going to be an attempt to spirit the material out of the library and destroy it -- after all, remember Sandy Berger. And given that this admitted terrorist now claims that his political activity -- which includes his long-time support for Barack Obama -- is simply a continuation of his effort to achieve his terrorist goals, I would suspect that there are multiple shredders in operation at UIC.
After all, if you are willing to blow up the Pentagon or a police station -- or bomb an officer's club with the intent of killing military officers and their spouses during time of war -- then what is destroying a few inconvenient documents in the name of electing an unqualified candidate whose personal history you want to obscure?
