Substituting for Sullivan, Steve Clemons [1], one of the more interesting foreign policy realists out there, has pointed out [2] that everyone’s favourite, Michael O’Hanlon, is under contract with Al-Hurra (which literally means “the free one”). Al-Hurra is the Arabic-language U.S. propaganda information service, which O’Hanlon serves in both a producing and commentary capacity.
This is the same service, incidentally, that has made headlines for being managed by officials who (you guessed it) don’t know Arabic [3], which has led to the unwitting broadcast of terrorist messages on the network. Your tax dollars at work.
