True..."liberal" is not exactly the word I'd use, and in fact their website has all the best "conservative links", but... their "about us" page is blank, and they've not (yet?) put any bio's for their "policy analysts", none of which I've heard of! I'd say more of an "old generals" alert (you know what I'm talking about...we've seen them on TV) and I can't say as I agree with them myself; what do you make of this from their home page?!

CNSI adds its voice to those of retired Generals Schwartzkopf, Zinni, Hoar, Clark, Scowcroft, Shalikashvili and many members of former President George H.W. Bush’s Gulf War cabinet including former Secretary of States Jim Baker and Lawrence Eagleburger, former HUD Secretary Jack Kemp and until recently, former Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff General Colin Powell in urging the Administration to abandon its plans for an unnecessary and unprovoked invasion of Iraq fraught with potential negative consequences for US national security.
CNSI believes that the expert opinions of retired and still serving general officers on this and other important issues have been given insufficient consideration by the President and his Secretary of Defense.
'Course, they're also anti-UN, pro big tanks and heavy weapons, and opposed to "nuking" anyone (they actually used the word "nuking", in quotes...that's kind of unprofessional, don't you think?!)...but I think as sensible as they may seem on some issues, they just really dislike Rummy a lot, and do not want a "lighter, faster" military, LOL!!!
