A small portion -- less than one percent of its $160 million in research revenue in the last fiscal year -- came from Arab nations That is still 1.6 Mil, not a bad piece of change. I think he was a "Dead Duck" after the briefing came out. The "LaRouche" BG and the "Interview" just made it easier.

I doubt very much that Murawiec was fired by RAND because of the money that RAND gets from Arab nations. It's far more likely that he was canned because the briefing he gave to the Defense Policy Board had nothing actually to do with RAND, and it embarrassed them. Most news sources picked up the fact that he was a RAND analyst, but very few picked up the fact that he was not giving a briefing that RAND was paid for and endorsed. RAND has a very good reputation. In their business, reputation is one of their most important assets, if not THE most important asset.
