re: Wm. Goodfellow's CIP, VERY deeply involved in far-left anti_Iraq War activism:

http://www.frontpagemag.com/Articles/Printable.asp?ID=14893

"One of the most sophisticated of Fenton's anti-war projects is the co-mingling of Win Without War and the Center for International Policy (CIP). Before 9/11, CIP, a Fenton Communications client, mainly acted as Fidel Castro's greatest “think tank” ally. Much of its million-dollar budget was spent lobbying to end economic sanctions and travel restrictions against Cuba.

Now, it has another mission. Fenton has established a “war room” with CIP called The Iraq Policy Information Program (IPIP). Its main job is getting the anti-Bush foreign policy message out to the media and providing guests for talk shows. A featured speaker of the IPIP is former ambassador Joe Wilson, one of the Bush administration’s most vocal enemies. Like Moveon.org and Win Without War, the contact for the Iraq Policy Information Program is Fenton Communications. Win Without War also collects tax-deductible donations through CIP.

PING!! Please see my #1815 and all the other useful posts freepers have been coming up with on this thread.

I haven't been keeping a ping list in a long time (too busy to post consistently) but I may do so now because this Mary McCarthy - Dana Priest stuff is just too good not to follow closely and I suspect/hope there's a lot more to come!

Please freepmail me to be added or deleted from this ping list.

I don't know who asked him, but...


Iraq:

A New Project to Head Off a U.S. Invasion

We believe the administration should be pressing Iraq
to disarm as part of a coordinated regional strategy of conflict
resolution and democratization. Such an effort would be
supported by our allies and would give a huge boost to
beleaguered reformers throughout the Middle East. It is the only
sure path to peace in the region.

-William Goodfellow, Executive Director

Jeeze -- it IS truly INCEST:

"Now, it has another mission. Fenton has established a “war room” with CIP called The Iraq Policy Information Program (IPIP). Its main job is getting the anti-Bush foreign policy message out to the media and providing guests for talk shows. A featured speaker of the IPIP is former ambassador Joe Wilson, one of the Bush administration’s most vocal enemies. Like Moveon.org and Win Without War, the contact for the Iraq Policy Information Program is Fenton Communications."

Our talented team has decades of experience in political campaigns, advocacy, news agencies and the corporate sector. We know what you’re up against, because we’ve been there ourselves.

DAVID FENTON - CEO

David Fenton, named as “One of the 100 most influential P.R. people of the 20th Century” by PR Week magazine, founded Fenton Communications in 1982 to create issue-oriented public relations campaigns focusing on the environment, public health and human rights.

Over the course of two decades, he has pioneered the use of professional P.R. and advertising techniques by nonprofit public interest groups in the United States and around the world.

Fenton is also a co-founder of three independent nonprofit organizations:

Environmental Media Services, which coordinates communications activities for environmental groups;

New Economy Communications, which works on human rights issues in the global economy;

and the Death Penalty Information Center. Fenton was formerly director of public relations at Rolling Stone magazine and co-producer of the “No Nukes” concerts in 1979 with Bruce Springsteen, Bonnie Raitt and other artists. He is a native of New York City.

In case no one else adds this to the thread, Fenton Communications was behind the Cindy Sheehan Summer at Crawford spectacle. They are closely allied with Medea Benjamin and Code Pink, among others.

Think about these linkages (below) from Soros, Heinz-Kerry to Fenton Communications to Win Without War and the Iraq project done with IPC which prominently featured Joe Wilson...... Dana Priest is not just sleeping with the enemy...... we have found one of the motherlodes of funded propaganda against the Bush WH and the War on Terror.

From the frontpage.com article linked above:

"In addition to progressive non-profits associated with Win Without War [ME: foremost of which is the "Center for International Policy" founded and run by Dana Priest's husband, Wm. Goodfellow], Fenton Communications flaks for the politically motivated wealthy patrons who fuel their efforts. Fenton has a client list filled with America's richest, most left-leaning philanthropic organizations. They include the David and Lucille Packard Foundation, the Ford Foundation, The Blue Moon Fund (formerly the W. Alton Jones Foundation), The Heinz Foundation and George Soros's Open Society Institute. Fenton Communications undoubtedly crafted Win Without War with its left wing clients, like Soros and Heinz-Kerry, in mind. Through non-profit coalition members, John Kerry-supporting billionaires are free to dole out taxpayer subsidized millions to oust the Bush administration without spending limits and scrutiny from the Federal Election Commission.
