It has come to our attention that our 2010 post on Shadi Hamid, the director of research at the Brookings Doha Center, has been attracting some attention over the last days, likely as a result of our disclosure that was at one time an activist for the Muslim Student Association (MSA). One of the relevant articles documenting that affiliation has since disappeared from its original link and so, given the interest in this post, the GMBDW has gone ahead and replaced the link with another from the Internet Archive. Unfortunately, we cannot afford the time to do do this with all such links so, as always, we encourage readers to make use of the Internet Archive whenever relevant. In this case, an extra step was required to identify the correct link from the Archive, so we have gone ahead and made the correction.
