he's one of the biggest propagandists against Islam
and in support of all of Israel's aggressive policies
(actually, he reasons that not enough force is being used).
He also played a huge role in the witch-hunt against liberal acedemia. He's a monster, to put it in one word. He gained credibility as an "anti-terrorism" expert after 9/11, when he claimed that he had predicted that attack and been warning about militant Islam. Bush appointed him to the US Institute of Peace, and that raised a storm. His site is danielpipes.com.

Giuliani's Latest Hire
The latest addition to the presidential campaign of former New York Mayor Rudy Giuliani has raised eyebrows a little higher. Daniel Pipes is the new hand advising, joining the standing team that includes Norman Podhoretz and Martin Kramer . This news was noted
by Ken Silverstein in Harper's Magazine, who observed that Pipes is "further out ideologically" than any other of the already ideologues working with the Giuliani campaign.
In an earlier piece, Silverstein cited Augustus Richard Norton , a Middle East scholar who had been an advisor to the Iraq Study Group, who said: "What I find fascinating, is how skewed this team seems to be in terms of the regional focus. ... There is no real expertise on Africa, Asia, Latin America, or much of Europe." This seems to beg the question of the criteria used by Giuliani in assembling his foreign policy advisors.
