Terrorism Awareness Indeed

I'm very excited and pleased to introduce today's guest poster, Danny Postel, who comes to us with some absolutely chilling revelations about the bad faith of the neoconservatives' supposed dedication to "freedom" (I know, I know: you're shocked). Danny is the author of Reading “Legitimation Crisis” in Tehran: Iran and the Future of Liberalism and is co-coordinator of the Committee for Academic and Intellectual Freedom of the International Society for Iranian Studies.
