On August 12, Churches for Middle East Peace sent an urgent action alert about reports of President Bush’s intentions to make a recess appointment of Daniel Pipes to the board of the United States Institute of Peace (USIP). CMEP thanks all those who made calls to the White House opposing this action. Unfortunately, the Associated Press has reported that on Friday, August 23, President Bush bypassed the Senate Committee and appointed Daniel Pipes to the board of the USIP.
