MEMRI
"MEMRI is the single most important source for understanding what is happening in the Greater Middle East and what we must know to fight effectively the war against terrorism both at home and abroad."
- April 14, 2004, R. James Woolsey, Former Director of the Central Intelligence Agency (1993-1995)
"MEMRI does a real service by translating and communicating messages from the Mideast that most people in America would never find out about with out them. They have an excellent track record for accuracy."
- January 28, 2004, Brit Hume, FOX News Channel
"It's worth tuning in from time to time. Non-Arabic speakers can do this thanks to the invaluable Middle East Media Research Institute, which posts its translations of items from the Arabic media on its website. Because of MEMRI's work, we can sample the hate speech characteristic of extremist Islam."
- March 24, 2004, Claudia Winkler, The Weekly Standard
"MEMRI, an invaluable website that translates Arabic publications."
- January 2, 2004, Max Boot, The Weekly Standard & Los Angeles Times, "With Friends Like These…"
MEMRI was founded by a retired Israeli colonel from military intelligence, and co-run by Meyrav Wurmser, wife of David Wurmser. David Wurmser is close to the Likud Party in Israel and served in Douglas Feith's Office of Special Plans in the Pentagon, where he helped manufacture the case that Iraq had weapons of mass destruction and was linked to al-Qaeda. David Wurmser, who wants to get up American wars against both Iran and Syria, then moved over to Vice President Dick Cheney's rump national security team.
