Interesting, but not surprising

Responding to this article by Christopher Hitchens, Juan Cole states, not surprisingly, that the private email discussion group he belongs to, which Hitchens has supposedly hacked into to gain access to some information, is edited and moderated by former National Security Council staffer for Carter and Reagan, the Islamic Republic’s key western apologist and the darling of its supporters, Gary $ick. As they say, birds of a feather flock together.

(If I had to guess another name in this network, I would not hesitate to name William Beeman.)
