IN the months since President Bush nominated me to the board of the United States Instititute of Peace, confirmation etiquette has obliged me not to talk about my nomination. I thus found myself having to remain mute as opponents said what they would about me. For five months, I quietly endured Sen. Edward Kennedy borking me as someone not "committed to bridging differences and bringing peace" and a Washington Post editorial criticizing me as "a destroyer" of cultural bridges, among other slings.

And Teddy understands bridges soooo well.
You can also email journalists such as Wolf Blitzer and request that he cover this issue of Daniel Pipes. He is a good journalist who is not afraid to oppose President Bush and his politics.
You can find his webpage at the following location: http://www.cnn.com/wolf
I'd say that's a resounding endorsement of the opinion that CNN is no friend of America.
Don't look for this piece to run in liberal media sources.
I found this "peaceful" image there:

Mr. Pipes, at FR we've come to know you well. Thank you for your resolved determination to help guide us. May your United States Instititute of Peace work live up to your previous contributions, may you and your family stay safe, and may you live to look back on history knowing that western civilization overcame the threat of militant Islam with the least amount of suffering required (on both sides) to move the human race forward into the next era.

YAHOO! Groups - almuhajiroun: Press Release: "THE UNITED NATIONS - A LEGITIMATE TARGET?" (PRESS RELEASE SNIPPET: "One of the many benefits of 9/11 was that it clearly delineated the two camps of Islam and Kufr (non-Islam), the camp of Haq (truth) and that of Batil (falsehood), the camp of sovereignty and supremacy for God as opposed to sovereignty and supremacy for man made law. Verily Muslims have no choice but to reject all alliances apart from those with Muslims. This means rejecting the UN and any organisation or body propagating man made law. As Allah (SWT) says in the Qur'an: 'O believers do not take the Jews and Christians as friends and protectors. They are just supporters of and love each other alone. And whoever does turn to them is one of them. Verily Allah does not guide the oppressors' [EMQ 5:51] And 'The believers are a single brotherhood' [EMQ 49:10] Let it be known therefore that all regimes, governments and bodies (implementing man made law) in the world today are rejected by Muslims and that the only legitimate authority, recognised in Islam on the state level, is that of the Islamic State i.e. Al-Khilafah, which must be established by Muslims and which will carry the message of Islam to the world - striving for Izhar ud-Deen i.e. the total domination of the world by Islam, through its divine foreign policy of Jihad.
