I debated Daniel Pipes on the radio, years ago when I was active in the peace movement. At the time he had no intellectual credibility. I admit, sixteen years later, I cannot remember details of our engagement. I would take anythink he says with a grain of salt. He is interested in Israel continuing to be a front for US power in the Mideast. As a radical leftist, I am infuriated that Obama is being called a radical. He is a centrist like Clinton. Jim
