SW: tried to make lead less partisan, moved criticism from lead to start of statements section, added category tag
In 2004 Pipes was temporarily appointed by [[George W. Bush]] to the board of the [[United States Institute of Peace|U.S. Institute of Peace]], but as of January 17, 2005, Bush had "failed to take any action to renominate…". The "nomination of Pipes, who has made a career out of identifying and denouncing what he sees as radical Muslim penetration of American institutions, was opposed by senators Edward Kennedy, Tom Harkin and Christopher Dodd, all Democrats; Arab and Muslim groups, including the [[Council on American-Islamic Relations]] and the [[American-Arab Anti-Discrimination Committee]]; and Middle East analysts Judith Kipper of the [[Center for Strategic and International Studies]] and William Quandt of the University of Virginia."
