Philippe Karsenty is a French journalist and media critic. After a brief foray into French politics in 2002, he founded Media-Ratings, the first ever French agency to rate the media. Media-Ratings focuses on fraud, inconsistencies and inaccuracies in the French media. Mr. Karsenty has been fighting to expose the greatest media hoax of this century - the so- called “Mohammed al-dura murder” in which a twelve-year-old boy was supposedly targeted and killed by Israeli troops during a resurgence of the Arab/Muslim violence in September, 2000. The staged incident, broadcast first on French public television, intensified Arab/Muslim hatred against the West and has been employed as a pretext for violence and mayhem around the world. Karsenty was recently elected Deputy Mayor of Neuilly, one of the most influential political districts in France.

In January, 2008, Mr. Coughlin, who has an expertise in the sources of Islamic terror and uses of Islamic law, was not renewed to his position at the Department of Defense.

Mr. Coughlin currently serves as a United States Army Reserve Major specializing in military intelligence.
