I think that you’re right, someone on the Obama team knew this guy and was familiar with his thinking.
This is the woman I was thinking of this morning:

OBAMA NOMINATES A VIRULENT AMERICA HATER, JEW HATER, ROSA BROOKS, TO KEY POSITION IN DEFENSE (!) DEPARTMENT
Brooks is a Soros cohort: she has been Special Counsel to the President at Soros’s Open Society Institute.
And Brooks worked for Honjou Koh, the pro Sharia lawyer and transnationalist now at the State Department.
She called Cheney and Bush psychos to be dealt with like psychos, referring to their “crimes”.
She is the most radical person to join the Obama revolutionary counsel so far.
This is like bringing Medea Benjamin into the Pentagon, or Michael Moore. (hat tip Amaros)

WHO IS ROSA BROOKS?

A Radical in the Defense Department
The appointment of Rosa Brooks to a mid level post in the defense department has largely gone under the radar, however it is one of the most perplexing and radical appointments of the Obama administration. Brooks, most recently an L.A. Times columnist, now heads to the Pentagon.
A number of journalists, coping with the industry downturn, have already headed to work in the government.
Now, LA Times columnist Rosa Brooks — who’s taking a job as an adviser in the Pentagon
In her latest column, Brooks called for a bailout of the newspaper industry. Brooks, like many journalists, was a frequent critic of the Bush administration’s policy on the GWOT. Of course, Brooks criticism goes beyond mere criticism and into the looney conspiracy theories and deranged hate.
For the many Americans who read of Karadzic’s arrest but wondered, “Yes, great — and when will George W. Bush and Dick Cheney face trial for war crimes?” this is something to keep in mind. Karadzic was the leader of a small, unrecognized rogue republic and presided over a genocide — but he evaded justice for more than a decade and still keeps a loyal fan base.
Look at this seditious insanity. Close your eyes and listen: this could be coming from Chavez, Kim Jong Il, Qadafi ....
