Good discussion of the origin and current makeup of these radical groups. They are all of the same ilk and have but a single purpose: Derail President Bush's efforts in combating terrorism by making the Iraq war singularly unpopular through stunts like this. They are counting on the sympathy of Americans toward this woman who has lost a son to pressure the President/Congress into fleeing Iraq as soon as possible. From the article:

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.

I did a search on the article and came up with two FR threads, which I have not yet had time to peruse.

America's Red Army

It's up to us to get the truth out. Either the truth or shame them to the point where their message is totally diluted. This reminds me of the days of the hippie protests of the Vietnam war.... Where those little pinkos painted all our servicemen with the same angry brush and turned too many against them when they returned.

This really scares me. If FR, et al, can't stop them this time, we'll all be in serious trouble.
