Has PNAC been showcased in the mainstream media?

[Killarney]

Has anyone in the mainstream media done a story on PNAC? Not on LIHOP, I know the media won't touch that win a 10 foot pole, but at the very least to showcase that Bush's cabinet is full of PNAC people and to talk about their "agenda".

I mean, that line alone about how the transformation won't happen unless a Pearl Harbor like catastrophe occurs is enough for media attention! Because even if you don't believe LIHOP, you have to know that these guys were HAPPY when 9/11 happened because it furthered their cause.

Has anyone picked it up? I haven't seen it anywhere in the mainstream, just on leftie sites. I think it would make a great segment for 60 Minutes if they had the balls.

4. I remember Nightline did one last year

Kristol even admitted they needed a Pearl Harbor and for them it was 9/11.

The Plan
Were Neo-Conservatives’ 1998 Memos a Blueprint for Iraq War?


The group, the Project for the New American Century, or PNAC, was founded in 1997. Among its supporters were three Republican former officials who were sitting out the Democratic presidency of Bill Clinton: Donald Rumsfeld, Dick Cheney and Paul Wolfowitz.

In open letters to Clinton and GOP congressional leaders the next year, the group called for "the removal of Saddam Hussein's regime from power" and a shift toward a more assertive U.S. policy in the Middle East, including the use of force if necessary to unseat Saddam.

And in a report just before the 2000 election that would bring Bush to power, the group predicted that the shift would come about slowly, unless there were "some catastrophic and catalyzing event, like a new Pearl Harbor."

That event came on Sept. 11, 2001. By that time, Cheney was vice president, Rumsfeld was secretary of defense, and Wolfowitz his deputy at the Pentagon.

5. Not Showcased Enough !!!!

For some time now, I have wondered why. I'm sure the ENTIRE media is aware of these characters, yet no one speaks of them. What gives?!?

7. Conservatives never heard of this....

I bring it up all the time...they don't know the term "NeoConservative" and they don't know about the PNAC. We need to educate.
