American view required - Walt & Mearsheimer

[hereward]

I would like to hear from Americans on how an article written in 2006 by Stephen Walt and John Mearsheimer, concerning the Jewish lobby, was received by the Media and public in general. I would also like to know the standing of one Colonel Lawrence Wilkerson (Colin Powell's former chief of staff).

the article (http://www.lrb.co.uk/v28/n06/john-mearsheimer/the-israel-lobby) or the book (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Israel_Lobby_and_U.S._Foreign_Policy)?

Thanks, both please!

Watched a Dutch documentary last Thursday regarding Mearsheimer & Walt's report, Wilkerson was interviewed, cannot find fault with anything he made comment on. Led me to wonder if his candidness as brought him undue criticism or affected his standing amongst his peers etc.
I would like your opinion on the subject if possible.
