Interesting. This is the same think tank Joseph Wilson has frequently criticized (usually in the same breath as criticizing a Richard Perle piece called "A Clean Break: A new strategy for the realm"). Here's an example from an online Q&A session Wilson participated in--included is the comment Wilson is responding to:
Alexandria, Va.: In response to the reader who said s/he wasn't trying to be anti-semitic, you said that "his advisors" have argued for years that the way to peace in the Middle East is to crush the Palestinian resistance, etc. ... Whose advisors and can you elaborate on the history of this argument? It's not something I've heard of before, but then I imagine we don't hear to much about the arguments that go on in our government behind the scenes.
Also, could you tell us a little bit about your company JC Wilson International? Thank you.
Joseph C. Wilson: WE do political risk assessment for companies wanting to do business in Africa Europe and the Middle East.
As to advisers: Richard Perle, Paul Wolfowitz, Bill Kristol et al.
Perle's study group produced a report for Bibi netnayahu in the mid 90s called A Clean Break, A new strategy for the realm
Read also the Project for a new American Century Michael Ledeen from the American Enterprise INstitue is another leading figure. He is Mr. Total War, go to Iran after this.
A related note from a Joseph Wilson timeline I put together for my research:
September 15, 2002: Sunday Herald reports it has obtained New American Century (PNAC) document titled “Rebuilding America's Defences: Strategies, Forces And Resources For A New Century” from September 2000 by Bush team outlining US foreign policy goals including regime change in Iraq
I also notice Jacques Derrida participated in the BRussells Tribunal (Lieven De Cauter, "For A Justice To Come: An Interview with Jacques Derrida"). Derrida is one of the major forefathers of Deconstruction/Postmodernism, more widely known in non-academic circles as "political correctness"--things like the out-of-control judicial activism we're experiencing today are in no small part due to his academic influence on linguistic and legal theory. He was one of a group of radical French academics who came to prominence in the aftermath of the 1968 Paris student uprising, whose perpetrators he and his academic colleagues were linked to. He'd be the French equivalent of an old SDS professor--you might think on analogy to someone like Noam Chomsky (to oversimplify--in terms of academic/cultural influence Derrida is a Great White Shark where Chomsky is a minnow).
That operation is who's who of America-haters. It is amazing that they have been doing this since Vietnam.
They must have some heavy-duty funding.
I noticed rummaging around that they tried to bring Ronald Reagan up on war crimes charges.
Ramsey Clark was their attorney. What a shock, huh?
Remember William Rivers Pitt and his Truthout group pushing that silly story sourced to T J Wilkerson, alleged CIA agent way back when the libs were trying to get the Wilson-Nigerflap thing into the mainstream press.
