1. Can't Ed just hire one intelligent person to explain things to him?

[Gabi Hayes]

2. please...somebody call in and ask that guy if he has trouble keeping

track of all the lies he tells, as on this morning's Washington Journal

ask him about "A Clean Break," and his influence over Doug Feith, who, like Pipes, denies his Zionist connections

ask him if he thinks he'll be indicted along with Feith over the AIPAC spy scandal

Daniel Pipes, the son of notorious anti-Soviet crusader Richard Pipes, has made a name for himself lambasting Arab politics, urging U.S. military intervention in the Middle East, and warning of the impending threat to U.S. security posed by Islamic extremists. On this last point, the Boston Globe reported, "If Pipes's admonitions had been heeded, there might never have been a 9/11." (1)

On the other hand, "if Pipe's admonitions had been heeded," the United States might also be at war with most of the Arab world. In 2000, for example, he co-produced with Ziad Abdelnour and the U.S. Committee for a Free Lebanon a report calling for the United States to force Syria from Lebanon and to disarm it of its alleged weapons of mass destruction. The document, titled "Ending Syria's Occupation of Lebanon: The U.S. Role?" argued that "Syrian rule in Lebanon stands in direct opposition to American ideals" and criticized the United States for engaging rather than confronting the regime. Regarding the use of force, the document reasoned: "The Vietnam legacy and the sour memories of dead American Marines in Beirut notwithstanding ... the United States has entered a new era of undisputed military supremacy with an appreciable drop in human losses on the battlefield. ... This opens the door to a similar decision to act for Lebanon 's endangered freedoms and pluralism. But this opportunity may not wait, for as weapons-of-mass-destruction capabilities spread, the risks of such action will rapidly grow."

Among the all-star cast that signed the document were several future Bush administration figures, including Elliott Abrams, Douglas Feith, Michael Rubin, David Wurmser, and Under Secretary of State for Global Affairs Paula Dobriansky. Other signers included Richard Perle, Jeane Kirkpatrick, Michael Ledeen, and Frank Gaffney. (5, 6)

Because of his hardline take on Arab affairs, many observers were outraged when President Bush announced in early 2003 Pipe's nomination to the U.S. Institute of Peace. Pipe's neocon friends rallied behind him, arguing that Pipes was really just someone who realizes that racial profiling was the bitter pill we had to swallow to end the terrorist threat.
