Does the article disclose that it's author, David Klinghoffer, is a Senior Fellow at the Discovery Institute?
Funny you should ask; the ORIGINAL article does so mention at the very end of the article, but the poster curiously FAILED TO INCLUDE THAT PORTION OF THE ARTICLE when he posted it here in FR. FWIW, that's the second time I've seen an op-ed piece authored by a UN-Discovery Insititute hack posted to FR with the author's affiliation left off. I can only assume they are ashamed of UN-Discovery Institute folks, as they should be.
Evidently the author is even more dishonest than I'd thought.
