Reader comment on item: CAIR and the Council on Foreign Relations Endorse Mearsheimer/Walt

You must be more specific on your rebuttal to the Council on Foreign Relations endorsement of the Israel Lobby study. Your piece gave no specific details as to why that study is flawed, or why L. Carl Brown's review was flawed.

Browns suggestion that this study deserves careful consideration is not an endorsement of it. He may be correct when saying that this study, should it pass scrutiny, might lead to changes in US Middle East policy.

There is a whole literature on the flaws of the Israel lobby study - starting with Alex Safian's point-by-point dissection of it.
