Michael Scheuer Watch: Some Housekeeping
To avoid confusion, I’ve renamed some of my posts. They now appears as follows:
Michael Scheuer Watch #1: The Jewish Conspiracy
Michael Scheuer Watch #2: Osama bin Laden’s Favorite Pundit
Michael Scheuer Watch #3: Innocent Until Proven Guilty
Michael Scheuer Watch #4: The Danish Affair
Michael Scheuer Watch #5: The Danish Affair, Cont.
Michael Scheuer Watch #6: Bad Apples and Basic Questions
Michael Scheuer Watch #7: Heavy Medal
Michael Scheuer Watch #8: Please Pass the Truth Serum
In addition to posts here on Connecting . . . the Dots, readers can also find my discussion of Scheuer’s book, Imperial Hubris, in What Became of the CIA in the March 2005 COMMENTARY.
Scheuer subsequently responded to that piece, and I then responded to his response, both of which appeared in the correspondence pages of the June 2005 COMMENTARY.
More recently I examined Scheuer’s performance (or malperformance) as a counterterrorism official in The CIA Examines Itself in the September 17, 2007 Weekly Standard.
I will be saying more about why I am devoting so many precious pixels to such a small fry in a later post.
