UPDATE To “Alger Hiss Redux?”
Further to our July 28th posting, entitled "Alger Hiss Redux?" (here), please listen to a video replay of Andrew McCarthy's SUPERB press conference today at the National Press Club in Washington, DC.
McCarthy gave a fascinating presentation on the Muslim Brotherhood (MB) and its activities here in the U.S., in support of the so-called "National Security Five" investigation, i.e., the band of House Republicans led by Rep. Michele Bachmann, who are currently investigating the MB's reach. And just as a reminder, besides being one of NSR's distinguished Senior Advisors(!), Andy was the federal terrorism prosecutor, who led the Justice Department team that prosecuted the "Blind Sheik" and other jihadists, in the wake of the 1993 World Trade Center bombing and a plot to bomb New York City landmarks (more about McCarthy here).
The press conference can be viewed here:
[Oh, and as proof positive of the Euripides quote - "Talk sense to a fool and he calls you foolish" - you can view WH Homeland Security & Counterterrorism Adviser, John Brennan's astoundingly ignorant (or woefully disingenuous) response to a question posed to him today about the MB investigation, at the (dinosaur) Council on Foreign Relations. His response (and the ignorant audience reaction) can be heard at the 51.25 minute point of the video clip below.]

"Mr. Netanyahu is one of the most media-savvy politicians on the planet. On Friday he appeared live via video link on 'Real Time with Bill Maher,' taking the host’s alternately sardonic and serious line of questioning with gazelle-like alacrity."
~ Anthony Grant, jourrnalist who has written for many major newspapers and worked in television at Paris and Tel Aviv, interviewing former PM Benjamin Netanyahu on Monday, at the outset of Mr. Netanyahu's new book (more here).
