Michael Ledeen Leaves AEI

Neoconservative historian and writer Michael Ledeen has left the American Enterprise Institute, his intellectual base for more than a decade, Mother Jones has learned. The decision for Ledeen, a veteran of the Iran contra affair, and AEI to part ways "has been in the works for a while" an associate who confirmed the recent departure describes. For those who follow foreign policy events at the think tank, one has noticed that Ledeen has been absent for the most part from many of AEI's foreign policy events for the past several months. From afar, one sensed that Ledeen may be too controversial for AEI's other scholars to want him to be the public face of the think tank on Iran issues, an observation the associate described as reasonable.

1. AEI, mostly all former PNAC members that now seem to control CSPAN programming.

I swear their 'discussions' are cover at least twice a week on CSPAN1
