Speaking of COINTELPRO Tool, Bill provides some damn fine analysis of the nonsensicality of some pervasive memes concerning the Project for the New American Century. The PNAC is (not inaccurately) described as a "neoconservative think tank," whose membership has included such people as current Under-Secretary for Defense Paul Wolfowitz. In September 2000, PNAC published a report titled Rebuilding America's Defenses, which has been seized upon by certain anti-war types—such as John Pilger—as "proof" that the Bush administration had it in for Iraq all along. Bill deftly explains that "the difference between the document and how it has been portrayed is quite shocking," noting in particular that régime change was also a stated policy of the Clinton administration and other Democrats. |
