Laura Rozen: The CPD

Resurrection
25 August 2004, Laura Rozen, AlterNet

The Committee on the Present Danger has been born again. A close look at its mission – and its financiers – shows an anti-terror, pro-Israel agenda.

With full-page ads in the Washington Post and the New York Times, and a sparkling new multi-media website flashing photos of recent terror attacks in India and Indonesia, the Committee on the Present Danger (CPD) re-launched itself with a bang last month, proclaiming its new mission to be "dedicated to winning the war on terror."

What it didn't say is that the billionaire philanthropists behind the CPD intend to broaden this "war on terror" beyond al-Qaeda to focus on all militant jihadist groups, including Israel's perceived enemies.
