The OU's PR director, Steven Steiner, assures me that:
- The OU's statement on Rubashkin/Postville has not yet been issued.
- It will be issued sometime today.
- He does not know how the JTA got the gist of the statement or all those quotes on it from Rabbi Genack last night, just in time to make the deadline for hundreds of Jewish weeklies, thereby ensuring international coverage that is sure to be favorable to the OU.
