Ledeen is a madman
Ledeen has zero credibility. This is a person who floated the idea that after invading Iraq we might have to go to war with France and Germany. Seriously.

"If this is correct [that France and Germany are involved in a plot to bring down America via Muslim terrorism], we will have to pursue the war against terror far beyond the boundaries of the Middle East, into the heart of Western Europe."
Doesn't get much more insane than that.
Regarding Ledeen and his ability to lie without any shame at all. Nothing tops this

FOUR HOURS AFTER THE 9/11 ATTACKS Ledeen posted on his blog that Saddam was responsible for them and that we need to go to war with Iraq!
Finally, someone should remind the president that we are still living with the consequences of Desert Shame, when his father and his father's advisers--most notably Colin Powell and Brent Scowcroft--advised against finishing the job and liberating Iraq. And the president should show the world that he is cut from different fabric, by immediately moving the American Embassy from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem, and removing the pettifogging restrictions on the Iraqi Resistance, thereby taking the fight directly to Saddam on his own territory.
If he does that, he will show his antiterrorist people that the rules have changed, and we are serious. If he doesn't, they will cover their asses with legal opinions forbidding them to act effectively.
Machiavelli famously said that it's impossible to get good leaders in peacetime. We will now find out if we have leaders capable of waging war.
