Frozen Pipes

Stanley Kurtz reports that Daniel Pipes, founder of the controversial Campus Watch, has been blackballed by his academic detractors. Pipes was recently invited--then disinvited--to speak at Stanford and at Colltown, a Baltimore-area group of colleges and universities that will be hosting a series of panels on globalization and the Middle East. Pipes has been accused of McCarthyism ever since he launched Campus Watch, a site dedicated to recording the excesses and biased proceedings of academic Middle East studies.

Kurtz's piece is thorough and damning. Read the whole thing.

UPDATE: Dale Keiger has more.
