You put up a worthwhile topic for discussion .... and, in a single sentence in your opening remarks, leave us very little else to say on the subject. :-) Mark; you said

He was the Reuters US foreign correspondent and bureau chief expelled in 2001 from Iran (previously based in Russia, then Turkey) along with his journalist/academic wife, both accused by the Khatami government of being US government spies. The couple had been living and working as researchers and foreign correspondents in Iran for 3 years. Their primary interest/journalistic/academic focus was unambiguously the clerical classes. He surfaced a year or so ago in Australia and now teaches and consults at the Global Terrorism Research Center at Monash. At Monash he's also a doctoral student in sociology of religion and conducts courses for the Global Terrorism Centre heavily based on his speciality, Islam, particularly in today's Iran.

I wonder what Bendle would make of that. You know, young US Army officers get to make a recruitment video for a fictional Islamic terrorist group as part of their ‘media warfare 101′ training.
