The stunning announcement came after it was revealed Friday that Penn, in his capacity as worldwide CEO of the lobbying firm Burson-Marsteller, had held discussions with officials from Colombia on a bilateral free-trade agreement. Clinton has said she is against such a pact. While campaigning for the Ohio primary, Clinton had assailed Barack Obama's campaign for what she said was its tacit collusion with Canada over NAFTA, another controversial free-trade pact that she has said needs to be renegotiated...
