Informed by ABC News that she holds an investment in a mutual fund that owns shares in companies that human rights organizations say help the government of Sudan, Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin on Friday said through a spokesman that she will divest from that mutual fund.
According to financial disclosure forms Palin released last week (read them HERE). Palin owns up to $15,000 in Legg Mason International Equities, which the McCain-Palin campaign specified is the Legg Mason International Equity Fund.

Does she care? She got her first passport in 2006, and travelled to 4 countries so far (well 5 if you include a refueling stop over in Ireland), including “visiting the US troops in Kuwait and Iraq”…
She might diverse the funds, but it would be out of fear of a PR backlash, not because she cares in the very least…
