Revision as of 12:46, 16 April 2004
Daniel Pipes is considered to be a "neo-con" (neo-conservative). He is director of the Middle East Forum and head of Campus Watch.
His name is linked with the Department of Defense Special Task Force on Terrorism and Technology. He is an associate with the Washington Institute for Near East Policy. Pipes is the former vice chair of the Fulbright Board of Foreign Scholarships.
Pipes is the publisher of the "Middle East Intelligence Forum" and is a frequent media "talking head" and regarded by some as the country's leading Islamophobe.
Pipes has called for a war on Islamic extremism, declaring in one post-Sept. 11 interview, "What we need to do is inspire fear, not affection." None the less, during August recess 2003, President Bush bypassed the Senate and appointed Pipes, over the objections of Democrats and others, to the board of the U.S. Institute of Peace. The appointment won't be valid until the next Congress is sworn in, which would be January 2005. [1]
