According to the Washington Post, “Sarah Palin is exaggerating her role in leading the Sudan divestiture in Alaska. The legislative record shows that her administration was late in embracing the campaign to sell stock in companies that do business with Sudan, and that it initially opposed the divestiture. The Alaska Permanent Fund still invests in companies blacklisted by the Save Darfur Coalition”
As I noted in my post on Sarah Palin on Sunday, she misrepresented her position on divestment from companies doing business in the Sudan, taking credit for doing so only after it was too late. What’s more, the state of Alaska still invests in companies doing business in the Sudan despite her claims.
