Why are you surprised that I would quote from (with links to) hostile sources? It’s pretty obvious that the Discovery Institute was pretty unhappy with Shapiro’s review of Behe, and it’s pretty obvious that cdesign proponentsists are surprised and disappointed that someone who calls himself a critic of neo-Darwinism would not support them.

Shapiro works within naturalism and denies any role for the supernatural. Live with it.

I see you have no qualms about speaking for Dr. Shapiro, and for the Discovery Institute. They were so unhappy that they(Meyer), stated this, quoting a friend,"Look, you’re really into this idea of pre-programmed adaptive capacity as a kind of alternative to strict Darwinism. We think that’s a neat phenomenon.". That was from the link you provided and the date on that was in 2006, ten years after Shapiro's review of Behe. From which you ignore the first question which Shapiro answers yes. That question is? "Is this book a serious critique of orthodox evolutionary theory?" Yes it is.

You've got so many holes in your argument, that if you called it a door, everyone else would call it a window.
