Talk:Fouad Ajami

message: It describes the view of critics who describe Ajami as a "neoconservative," with no mention of the fact that he has explicitly disavowed that label in the past-even referring to his "neoconservative friends" during a taping of The Charlie Rose Show-and as an "unabashed supporter" of George W. Bush.
While I agree that he has supported some significant foreign policy decisions made by the Bush administration this makes it seem as if he is a reflexive supporter of every policy pursued by President Bush, which isn't the case. 
Also, while I agree that the Arab-Israeli conflict is not his primary area of expertise, and he has focused much more extensively on other historical subjects, to say that he hardly ever comments, writes, or pontificates on this aspect of the modern Middle East is incorrect.

thread_title:  Bilderberg attendance 

message: I removed this . It was unsourced other then to the alleged controversial article which doesn't establish there was any controversy about this even if it really did contain the picture (which it doesn't at this time). The fact that something seems controversial to editors doesn't make it a controversy worth of mention in an article unless WP:RS say there was one Nil Einne (talk) 04:25, 5 October 2009 (UTC)
