Douglas Feith, Dennis Prager, Georgetown University and Dangerous Ideas
I appreciate the balanced approach that Dennis Prager takes to almost everything. His radio talk show is one of my favorites for just that reason. He takes pride in making sure that those who oppose his viewpoints get adequate time to engage him online. Therefore, it makes sense that he would champion the cause of Douglas J. Feith, and have him on his show to talk about his situation.
Douglas Feith "served as the Under Secretary of Defense for Policy for United States President George W. Bush from July 2001 until he resigned from his position effective August 8, 2005. His official responsibilities included the formulation of defense planning guidance and forces policy, United States Department of Defense (DoD) relations with foreign countries, and DoD's role in U.S. Government interagency policymaking."
For two years he was a faculty member of the Edmund A. Walsh School of Foreign Service at Georgetown University. However, his contract was not renewed because a small number of faculty members protested his conservative policy positions. In fact, they went so far as to call him a war criminal.
I guess that tells us what the left at Georgetown University really believes about academic freedom....
Feith was a guest on Dennis Prager's radio program yesterday, explaining the events surrounding his termination. During the course of the interview Prager praised profusely Feith's book War and Decision: Inside the Pentagon at the Dawn of the War on Terrorism
