The Middle East Institute

What is happening to the Middle East Institute in Washington, DC?  I spent a year there back in 1992-93 and was traditional the voice of the Arabists in the city, and voiced strong criticisms of the Israeli government albeit it had a traditional conservative Arab bent.  But I have noticed that in the last year the Institute has become quite neo-conservative.  I can't imagine what Richard Parker and Paul Hare would say about the transformation.
