That paper by Dolan proves nothing about Brecher's identity, but I put it at the bottom since it's so interesting independentently.  Dolan does not claim to be Brecher, and speaks of Brecher as a separate, "brilliant" person, who is primarily responsible for the Exile's swelling in monthly hits and worth speaking about.   

 Anyway, where's this Swedish photo?   

 Knowing about "tenure" by the way doesn't make you an expert on academia.  It makes you a person who has had some thoughts.  Brecher is not necessarily a "brilliant intellectual," he is a bored person who has read books and net news and thought about things, an option available to everyone, even people who did not finish college.  If anything, Dolan's articles constantly betray his academic heritage, whereas Brecher always comes off as not quite polished in this way, not even accidently.  Again after reading Dolan's entire book it seems highly unlikely that he is the War Nerd, he has an absolutely different style.
