From an Anonymous commenter:
Clare Lopez was fired . . .see Gates of Vienna's post The Totalitarian Impulse.
From which I quote: on September 4, when Ms. Lopez received an email from Nina Rosenwald notifying her that her relationship with the Gatestone Institute had been terminated at the request of the Gatestone Board of Directors.
On September 5, Ms. Rosenwald confirmed in an email sent to Ms. Lopez and others what some had already suspected, that her firing was due to her “choice of books to promote…,” a clear reference to Ms. Lopez’ citation of historical events from Ms. West’s book.
With John Bolton serving as Chairman of Gatestone, one cannot help but be confused as to what Gatestone's 'belief system' is morphing into.
Over the last couple of days I was searching for Clare's contact information to ask her directly, 'why' her review was pulled -- None was readily found.
This incredible revelation of Ms. Lopez being fired triggers that increasingly familiar déjà-vu-whirlwind-of-emotion reminiscent of the betrayals of Charles Johnson/LGF, and that of Hesham- Islam's-faux-credentials trumping Stephen Coughlin's expertise at the Pentagon.
When one imagined the proverbial [prayer?] rug being pulled out from underneath, one never anticipated witnessing it slip under a resurrected -door-[strike] "Iron Curtain" of AMERICAN National Security.

Clare Lopez's response to David Horowitz's FPM editorial response to Diana West's book controversy:

When I first began reading Diana's book, I told friends that the vehemence of the anti-anti-communist movement was new to me, as I'd spent 20 yrs. inside the Intelligence Community focused on the Soviet/Russian threat. Never occurred to us that there was any doubt about the infiltration, the penetration, the GRU/KGB networks. That was simply our job description. Now I see exactly what Diana means about the denial and the personal attacks that await anyone courageous enough, like her, to tell the truth in the open source world -- even with meticulous research and hundreds of citations. But chiseled in marble in the main lobby of the CIA building are these words, a biblical verse never more true than now:
"And ye shall know the truth and the truth shall make you free."

I've met Claire Lopez face to face.
For now, I'll keep my own counsel on the topic.
