MESA was a group of academics who sat around a table discussing middle eastern history and politics. They were funded by the CIA, and is where the alphabet agencies got their history and politics about those countries. Among their group was Alfred Hunt Howell, and Malcolm H. Kerr who was president of MESA in 1972. After 9/11 MESA was blamed for not giving President Bush the proper "heads up" for a possible terrorist attack, that's how important they were/are.
