Yesterday, I posted a link to a report in the Israeli press that Fred Thompson was headed over there for a visit.
I'm now told by the non-campaign that Mr. Thompson is definitely not going to Israel.
The confusion seems to have arisen because Mr. Thompson and his folks were attempting to set up a swing to Israel around June 19-20, connected to a speech he's giving in London during that time frame. However, Prime Minister Olmert will be out of the country during that time (actually in America, DC and NYC). So, it didn't end up working out.
Mr. Thompson has been writing about Israel recently and would like to get there, according to his people. But no trip is currently planned.
