The CFR is not part of the government and it's not part of Bush's Administration. It's a think tank. Nothing more.

You are correct. You must admit, however, a think tank with such a prestigious membership to be promoting something like this is pretty sickening, right?

I'd have to read actual CFR proposal before I had a firm reaction. There is a certain element within conservatism that believes anything the CFR proposes is part of some grand conspiracy. They often propose crummy stuff, but some of their work is pretty insightful. It just depends.

This one doesn't sound particularly good, but it's undoubtedly being spun in this article to look as bad as possible. It's red meat to the tinfoil crowd, just as intended.

Some people here are ready to impeach Bush because of a story issued by a think tank. We're not dealing with rational people here.
