Doc Searls suggests that Tom Friedman is putting out feelers for the administration's foreign policy. Feedback suggests that his columns are feelers from within the rank and file at the State Dept-- an interesting theory. Regardless, Friedman "gets" the Middle East as well as anyone else and can write eloquently about it. I think that Friedman's columns stem directly from his understanding of the region.
