...skills (admittedly superior to that of his questioners) could not completely hide his dark side at the ARCO Forum on Thursday. Buchanan stood squarely behind his remarks in praise of Hitler, his crack that Holocaust survivors have "group fantasies of martyrdom" and his support of Nazi war criminal John Demjanjuk. As Neal Sher, the former director of the Justice Department's Office of Special Investigations said, "Buchanan went to bat for every Nazi war criminal in America...

Thus, the failure to disclose to Demjanjuk's attorneys certain details...
