My guess is that others did the dirty work and his role was to sign off on it so that it would see the light of day. Which would have worked if higher authorities had not intervened. Just a guess.
Possibly. But keep in mind Dan's 2010 "Editor's Introduction" to the FARMS Review which was well over 14,000 words and 56 printed pages. And that was just an "intro" to the Review.
I was told that it was Dan himself who wrote the alleged "100-page hit piece." The "intel" could be wrong, of course, but I've now heard this from mutliple sources. It seems clear that he had *some* major role in it. Regardless, I'm sure that his current Pleasure Cruise through the Middle East is partly a means for him to blow off steam after getting his epic-length attack piece kibboshed.

My "intel" conflicts with your intel. Daniel did not write it, but he did have a major role in it.
