Bad topic drift or not - Hard to tell (+ link to Behe topic)
Various varieties of creationism, ranging from YECism to theistic evolutionism, all contain at least bits of ID.
Michael Behe, rightfully so, gets cited as the most prominent IDer who also does work in mainstream biology. I would definitely place Behe as being a theistic evolutionist and being very near to "non-theistic evolution". Behe accepts common decent of the species, including man and the other great apes having a common ancestor.
I refer all to the Behe on organismal evolution topic, which seems to be the main Behe topic. It ended up in the "Limbo" forum, and is now closed.

Yes, Behe is both an IDist and also very much an evolutionist.

And Behe is not the hero of the movement, but just another person with an open enough mind to see that ID is a better framework than ToE.
You deny that Behe is one of the select few, as being a prominent and often cited supporter of ID? He is one, Dembski is another. Maybe there are a few more.
Do you have anything to support the idea that, to Behe, ID is something other than details within the greater framework of the mainstream theory of (biological) evolution?
Behe is an IDist theistic evolutionist. Heavy of the evolutionist part.
