You know, it's kind of interesting that the December 2001 meeting in Paris between Franklin, Rhode, Ledeen, and Ghorbanifar came just a month before Bush's infamous Axis of Evil quote in the January 2002 SOTU address.
The "Axis of Evil" phrase, as we all know, was the brainchild of AEI Fellow David Frum.
Another example of what we all know to be true: AEI has been running our Middle East policy since Bush took office.
And who does the NYT go to for verification of the Franklin/mole story? AEI fellow Michael Ledeen, who of course is ears-deep in whatever malfeasance is going on here regarding the hijacking of our foreign policy.
CNN will doubtless point the camera at AEI fellow Bill Schneider when they see fit to cover the story.
Newt Gingrich, Jeanne Kirkpatrick, Richard Perle and Bill Kristol will probably also be in demand this weekend, to provide a measure of "balance" to the reporting.
Un. Be. Fucking. Lievable.
