You are really full of it. The 'premier organization' as you call it happens to be primarily composed of radical, left-wing SOCIAL so-called SCIENTISTS. Ie., poly-sci nitwits with PhD's.

You must be out of your mind, or what's left of it. Check out this list of Nobel Laureates serving as sponsors or board members, vast majority of them are in hard-core scientific fields, where genius-level IQ, impeccable educational attainment, and stellar objectivity are only the pre-requisites.

Put your money where your mouth is, show me a list of names that is 10%, even 1% as impressive as the one above, who’re associated with any organization or group that’s made vile and baseless charges against Dr. Lee.

I have better things to inanely waste my time playing your juvenile game, you could not refute ONE SINGLE CONTENTION in my missive. So you rant about your few Nobel laureates, who, excuse me happen to be alligned how, politically??

So I will just note where your precious FAS falls out in a rather summary listing of the 'biggies' as attached below:

Public Policy Think Tanks

SOURCES 1-15 OF 15

	1.  American Enterprise Institute for Public Policy Research. Conservative institute dedicated to preserving and strengthening the foundations of freedom. Each year the Institute publishes books, hundreds of articles and reports, and a policy magazine, The American Enterprise.
	2.  Brookings Institution. This prestigious public policy research organization traces its beginnings to 1916. It functions as an independent analyst and critic and is committed to publishing its findings for the information of the public.
	3.  Cato Institute. Libertarian public policy research foundation covers the complete spectrum of public policy issues. The Institute publishes a quarterly magazine, Regulation, and a bimonthly newsletter, Cato Policy Report.
	4.  Center for Strategic and International Studies. For four decades, CSIS has been dedicated to providing world leaders with strategic insights on--and policy solutions to--current and emerging global issues.
	5.  Economic Policy Institute. Nonprofit, nonpartisan, liberal research organization. Strong focus on economic issues such as employment and wages.
	6.  Federation of American Scientists. Liberal organization dedicated to achieving complete nuclear disarmament, and producing slanted 'science' articles to effectuate that policy. Largely composed of non-scientist issues advocates. Principal 'scientific' spokesman, John Pike, is not generally respected as a scientist after profligate misrepresentations of facts in a variety of defense issues during the Carter and Reagan eras. FAS also addresses a wide range of science and society issues, including those of population, energy, agriculture, medical care, and ethnic conflict, with similar bias.

	9.  Institute for Policy Studies, which, in their own humble words claims: "At a time when other think tanks celebrate the virtues of unrestrained greed, unlimited wealth and unregulated markets, IPS is striving to create a more responsible society...built around the values of justice, nonviolence, sustainability and decency."
