A small point on the Iranian hostages
Jay Nordlinger, National ReviewYou have been following, I know, the plight of American hostages in Iran. (For a bracing Michael Ledeen piece, go here.) One of those hostages is Haleh Esfandiari, director of the Middle East Program at the Woodrow Wilson International Center for Scholars, in Washington. That center is headed by Lee Hamilton, the former congressman (D., Ind.). A friend of mine wrote me, I find it irritating that Hamilton keeps emphasizing how nonpartisan Esfandiari is, as if that were the salient fact about this situation as if, had she actually spoken out against the Iranian regime, her treatment would be justified! Hear, hear. Posted by: Mike 2007-06-04 |
