I wonder if Brennan, who is “reorganizing the CIA” ever had anything to do with the NCPPF in either its current manifestation or its earlier Vietnam-era SDS/WUP/PLO manifestation? This organization has been a sort of node combining leftists and Islam with the goal of taking down US intelligence agencies?

“Al-Arian founded the National Coalition to Protect Political Freedom (NCPPF) in 1997 as a reaction to the Anti-Terrorism Act of 1996.”

The Institute for Policy Studies had been doing that for a long time before NCPPF was founded, supporting the PLO via e.g. Tariq Ali and IPS' Transnational Institute (TNI) branch, MERIP and other channels; I'd suspect they travel in the same circles. On that note, scroll down here where Wilson's defenders, Sidney and Max Blumenthal, the NCPPF's Hussein Ibish, and Ali all appear together: Background Briefing with Ian Masters
