    Ledeen and Reynolds

    Glenn, I'd agree that Reynolds fits into the authoritarian worshiping mindset. But I don't think Ledeen does. He is a smart and slippery operator, a proponent of PNAC, "destructive chaos" and Israel uber alles (even when, in a rational world, his actions and goals are clearly against Israel's interests). He knows very well what he is doing. He ain't no follower -- he is one of the architects of the neo-con world view that we are seeing in action. (Some people -- oops there I go -- like Justin Raimondo, believe he was either the forger or the architect of the forgery of the letters used to scam the Niger yellowcake deal.) "Faster please" he said, and he meant it and he's doing everything in his power to implement it. Don't make the mistake of underestimating him.
