At the center of Schlesingers piece was a woman named Beverly Cocco, a Philadelphia woman who is sick to my stomach that her two sons might be drafted. In his report, Schlesinger claimed that Cocco was a Republican and portrayed her as an apolitical (even Republican) mom worried about the future.
Schlesinger did not disclose that Cocco is a chapter president of an advocacy group called People Against the Draft (PAD) which, in addition to opposing any federal proscription, seeks to establish a peaceful, rational foreign policy by bringing all U.S. troops out of Iraq. Like Schlesingers Cocco, the group portrays itself as nonpartisan although its leadership seems to be entirely bereft of any Republicans.
The groups domain is registered to a man named Jacob Levich, a left-wing activist who in a 2001 essay compared the Bush Administration to the totalitarian government portrayed in George Orwells 1984.
