More on the twists and turns of the American Right and international terrorism. Now _here's_ a gem, from the New Republic, "W's Unreliable Adviser on Islam - Blind Faith", by Franklin Foer:

It's about a guy named David Forte (yes, that's right :-) who turns out to be Bush's "presidential Advisor on Islam". Forte is also quite a militant religious (Catholic - like Pat Buchanan) conservative. Foer also states Forte completely ignores the connection between Wahhabism and Al Qaeda. How convenient, for relations with Saudi Arabia.
