Slate’s Jack Shafer has done some good sleuthing on the identity of Laurent Murawiec, the Rand consultant who told the Bush Pentagon that Saudi Arabia was a hostile nation, and whose report was leaked to the Washington Post. Seems Murawiec spent at least some of the 1980s in the orbit of fringe fascist and paranoid perennial presidential candidate Lyndon Larouche. He was invited to give his talk by the defense policy world’s leading Iraq hawk, Richard Perle. Shafer has also posted Murawiec’s entire Powerpoint presentation, “Taking Saudi out of Arabia.”
