Eleana Benador
is a
Peruvian-born linguist who acts as a "sort of theatrical agent for experts on the
Middle East and
terrorism, organizing their TV appearances and speaking engagements." Her clients have included
Richard N. Perle,
Michael Rubin,
David Wurmser, and
Laurie Mylroie (author of "
Saddam Hussein's Unfinished
War Against America") and
Judith Miller ("Saddam Hussein and the Crisis in the
Gulf," co-authored with Mylroie), a
New York Times journalist.
It is alleged that, of the twenty-eight clients in Benador's "books," at least nine are connected with the
American Enterprise Institute (AEI), the
Washington Institute, and the Middle East Forum.
