WHO: Former Senator Fred Thompson, (R-TN) and Randy Scheunemann, Senior Foreign Policy Adviser, John McCain 2008
WHAT: Press conference call to discuss Senator Obama's remarks on terrorism.
WHEN: Thursday, June 19 at 10:00 a.m. EDT

SUMMARY
This call, officially billed in the press release as Sen. Fred Thompson and Randy Scheunemann commenting on Barack Obama's terrorism policy, opened instead with McCain 2008 Communications Director Jill Hazelbaker making a brief cameo to criticize Obama for withdrawing from public funding. It then turned to its purported subject, and for the majority of the call focused on the recent Supreme Court decision granting habeas corpus to "enemy combatants" and the implications of the ruling for counterterrorism policy. Both Sen. Thompson and Scheneumann took swipes at Obama's support for the court's majority.
