Robert Fisk on Middle Eastern studies, Edward Said, and the Department of Homeland Security:

'And it's getting worse. [Edward] Said's work is now being denounced in testimony to the US Congress by Dr Stanley Kurz, who claims that the presence of "post-colonial theory" in academic circles has produced professors who refuse to support or instruct students interested in joining the State Department or American intelligence agencies. So now Congress is proposing to set up an "oversight board" - with appointed members from Homeland Security, the Department of Defence and the US National Security Agency - that will link university department funding on Middle East studies to "students training for careers in national security, defence and intelligence agencies ..."'

'As Professor Michael Bednar of the History Department at the University of Texas at Austen says, "the possibility that someone in Homeland Security will instruct college professors ... on the proper, patriotic, 'American-friendly' textbooks that may be used in class scares and outrages me."'
