"But who funds those organizations? They've got to get money from somewhere to do what they do."

And that's where the information stops. As I recall, the IAC is actually incorporated as, or is the successor to, a daycare center.

Some FReeper did some snooping around regarding contributions to the WWP -- which, being a political party -- requires some level of transparency. They came up with one contribution of sufficient size to warrant reporting. As I recall, some foundation of uncertain heritage gave $56,000.

Where the rest of the money comes from, though, is an unanswered question. It's worth noting, however, that Iraq's Ambassador to the UN has been a featured participant in many of the IAC's seminars.

Is it legal for a U.S. (nonprofit?) organization to accept money from the Iraqi government? If it accepts it, is it legally obliged to register as a foreign agent? Maybe the U.S. government should consider classifying the Iraqi government as a terrorist organization as far as the legality of accepting funds from it is concerned (if it's now legal to accept them.)
