Well, here's how it's going to go. Rachid Ghannouchi is back in Tunisia.

He's not a moderate.

I'm reminded of Jeane Kirkpatrick's distinction between authoritarian and totalitarian regimes. 

Time and time again, authoritarian regimes merely jail or exile political agitators, only to see them raise their ugly heads when the time is ripe. 

Lenin; Fidel Castro, Ayatollah Khomeini, Hugo Chavez...the list goes on.  Truly totalitarian regimes would have dealt with them more definitively.

Great.  Rashid Ghannouchi was born in 1941 in the south of Tunisia. As a student in Damascus and Paris, he embraced the doctrines of the Muslim Brotherhood. Ghannouchi has urged violence against U.S. interests, and demanded Israel’s destruction.
With the impending rise of the Muslim Brotherhood in Egypt, we’re in for some bad times, from sky-high oil prices to gargantuan failures of Obama diplomacy.

That's him.
