I don't know what happened with the Christic Institute; their lead LIAR was Daniel Sheehan and the last thing I can find searching for him on the Net was a speech he gave about UFOs in 2001. Most of the communist front groups, like the Christic Institute, were forced to fold up camp when the USSR went out of business and their well channeled sources of (commie backed) funding dried up. Today they're superceeded by the likes of MoveOn.org and other liberal front groups that are sponsored by George Soros and others.

Soros was who I was thinking, too :) I don't know what happened with Christic Institute, either, but I have some stuff on them I archived a couple years ago and my best (hazy) recollection was that some of their members were still active with Liberation Theology types (I believe I found an antiwar/pro-Sandinista Jesuit priest with the last name Sheehan, who I suspected might be a relative of Daniel) opposing US foreign policy during the first Gulf War, lobbying for the lifting of sanctions against Iraq during the 1990s, and--I'd infer--participating in the more recent ANSWER antiwar protests. I figure whatever they're doing now can't be too many degrees moved from ANSWER--and Soros.
