THE MOSLEM RED HERRING
Reuel Marc Gerecht is not a dumb guy. He was with the Agency in the Middle East back in the 90s, has been a Fellow with a number of "neocon" DC think tanks, and writes a lot of well-informed stuff about US foreign policy.
This week, The Weekly Standard (8/20 issue) ran an article of his, in which you'll learn a lot about the mullah crazies who run Iran, particularly "Supreme Leader" Ayatollah Ali Khamenei (not to be confused with Ayatollah Ruholla Khomeini, the leader of the 1979 revolution who died in 1989).
Perhaps Bill Kristol and Fred Barnes are taking an August break in the Outer Banks and turned over editorial decisions to some copy editor or marketing intern - because Gerecht's think tankish piece was pumped up into the most idiotically-entitled cover story of any conservative publication in recent years: The Most Dangerous Man In The World.
Has TWS lost its mind? Some medieval turban-head is the world's greatest bad guy? This is a tasteless bad joke, especially given the dangers we face right now that are orders of magnitude larger than this Moslem loudmouth in the Persian desert.
Those dangers are inside our gates, not outside.
