Whitman Didn't Know

Meg Whitman  informed that her housekeeper was an illegal immigrant, says The New York Times. Allred, the housekeeper's attorney, displayed a letter allegedly written on by Whitman's husband asking the housekeeper, Nicandra Diaz-Santillan, to check on an issue with Diaz-Santillan's Social Security number. Whitman stated in a press release today that she would "absolutely" be willing to take a lie detector test to support her. Whitman's husband, Dr. Griffith Harsh, admits that he could have written the note but that it onlly proves that Diaz-Santillan did not, in fact, "take care of it". The Whitman campaign claims that this was "clearly a coordinated political attack". Whitman and Harsh claim that they followed the law, by firing the woman, and that Diaz-Santillan did not.
