Such a fluff piece on Michael Doran, the new Middle East "expert" at the NSC. Oh, and he is qualified because he looks at "Islamic websites." That is now expertise? Go read books instead. And Robin: what on earth does this bizarre phrase mean? "the pro-Arab "orientalism" of the late Palestinian-born Columbia University scholar Edward W. Said". The Orientalism of Edward Said? How could anybody who read, not the book but, about the book? This is like saying the "leftism of George W. Bush" or the "socialism of Rafiq Hariri" or the "McNuggets of a vegetarian."
