This ties in to an earlier RevWar/Colonial History/General Washington List ping out, Thomas Jefferson, Ben Franklin, John Adams and James Madison: Young America’s Fight with Islamism, almost a Paul Harvey ending, eh?

If Ellison lurked, he might have a different read on Jefferson. Was Ellison trying to poke us in the eye for the Barbary Wars or did he outfox himself?

Thanks for the link! I have it bookmarked to read in the morning.

Thanks for the ping. It seems to me that if Ellison knew his history, Jefferson's Kuran would have been the LAST Kuran he would have wanted to be sworn in on. I am no great fan of TJ, but the Barbary Wars was his great moment.
