On October 10, 2003, The American Spectator ran an article about the sealing of some of Governor Dean's official records as Governor. The article quoted an anonymous member of Governor Dean's New Hampshire staff speculating on when and whether Governor Dean might unseal these records. The author of the article did not contact the Dean campaign for comment. No member of the Dean campaign's New Hampshire staff with authorization or knowledge of the Governor's policy decisions spoke to The American Spectator, and the campaign strongly doubts that any member of our staff provided the quote. Regardless, the information printed is inaccurate.
In the future, we encourage The American Spectator to contact Dean for America's New Hampshire press department in conformity with traditional journalistic practices.
