Summary
This document appears to be a page from a manuscript draft (dated 4.2.12) written by Alan Dershowitz. He reflects on how his support for Israel has caused him to be mislabeled as a conservative despite his liberal views on other issues. He specifically refutes a quote by MJ Rosenberg, mentions his role in the O.J. Simpson case, and drafts a posthumous 'Letter to the Editor' defending his record of pro bono work and nuanced support for Israel.
