It's the most luke-warm 'liberal' Think Tank ever; more in-step with
CATO - both try to claim 'scholars,academics and upper level gov't
officials as their 'corral' of political thinkers. JE; September 10, 2015 at 10:44 AM
Anonymous said...: This has less grounding in reality than a Popeye cartoon. Iran didn't have a nuclear weapons program, and doesn't want one. Clinton merely recites the standard presidential oath requiring her to commit war crimes and ignore the constitution.; September 10, 2015 at 12:14 PM
