Dr. Cole-
This is Barrett Brown; we spoke a few months ago regarding Project PM. I've
been approached by the producer Robert Green, who is in the process of
raising money with which to found a new cable news station that is intended
to revive competent journalism and serve as a viable alternative to CNN and
the like. In addition to incorporating some of the methodology I have
developed for Project PM, he has also tasked me with approaching the
journalists and commentators whom I deem most valuable to this effort, and
you would certainly be my first pick in terms of Middle East commentary. If
you would be interested in learning more about what we're doing, plus get in
touch at your convenience.
For a bit of an update, see my recent Vanity Fair article on Michael
Hastings, who is also involved with Project PM:
