"An "op-ed" is by definition not an "ed" of a newspaper."
I agree, but when publishing an op-ed you are supposed to be fair and honest with your readers and let them know the writers affiliations. That is where WSJ screwed up. I just shows their bias on this issue.
To: Old Teufel Hunden
You’re right, they did screw up in this case.

If you notice... Much like O’bag-a-crap-ly, the pundits appearing on CNN and MSNBC are getting younger and younger by the day. They need the foolish postulations of these ever younger, ever more inexperienced, BUT BLINDLY AMBITIOUS, fools.

The WSJ should next fire whoever writes their Pro Law Breaking illegal alien editorials.

If we could get Columbia to admit they never heard of Obama , maybe we could fire him.
What kind of agency takes a person’s word for having a PHd and doesn’t check?

I think that the WSJ and the Institute knew her PHD wrinkle from the start. In fact, she was probably encouraged to “just say you have it”. The object was to use her for a specific purpose, an attack on Syria, and have a ready-made reason in their desk drawer to fire here if the gambit went sour ... which it did. She was expendable from the git-go. This dovetails with one of the comments that the “experts” on the MSM are getting younger and younger. These are young people who will go along with almost anything to advance their career, but ultimately are only cannon fodder. “They” couldn’t find “senior”, truly credible sources to do their lying for them. “They” are all the politicians on the Saudi payroll.
To: RetroSexual
A 26 year-old who has doubtless never been to war (likely never even held a gun) and who hasn't earned the credentials she claims, being used as a "senior analyst" to bolster the arguments of a political hack.
I'll see that and raise you the blonde State Dept. spokesbabe who sounds like a teenage Valley Girl from the 1980's.

Good Grief!

He doesn't even look like himself.

According to the article, "[ISW Founder Elizabeth] Kagan gave May of this year as a rough estimate of when O’Bagy’s
biography on the ISW site was updated to state she had obtained her Ph.D." However, here is what the Wayback Machine has for her
ISW site bio as of 23 June:
Elizabeth O'Bagy
Elizabeth O’Bagy is a Senior Research Analyst at the Institute for the Study of War, where she focuses on Syrian politics and security. She is in a joint Master’s/PhD program in Arab Studies and Political Science at Georgetown University and is working on a dissertation on women’s militancy. Prior to joining ISW, she received the Critical Language Scholarship to study Arabic at the American School in Tangier, Morocco, and studied Arabic and political science at the American University in Cairo, Egypt. She holds a bachelor’s degree in the Arabic Language and Arab Studies from Georgetown University.
