Welcome Back, PNAC
After a brief hiatus, which happened to coincide with the last phase of the presidential campaign season, the Project for a New American Century's Web site is back up and running, thanks to Bill Kristol and his chums at the neocon think tank.
After a brief hiatus, which happened to coincide with the last phase of the presidential campaign season, the Project for a New American Century’s Web site is back up and running, thanks to Bill Kristol and his chums at the neocon think tank.
As Kristol pondered in a recent New York Times column, maybe PNAC’s path to global domination should involve not just “military strength, diplomatic energy and commitment to moral principle,” but also cute and fluffy puppies.

It looks like Bill Kristol may be making good on his threat to revive the Project for the New American Century. Since May, visitors to PNAC’s website were informed that “this account has been suspended,” but now the website is back up, though it does not seem to have been updated with any new material.
PNAC’s militaristic ultra-nationalism is implicated in some of the worst mischief of the Bush years, from the “global war on terror” to the invasion of Iraq to President Bush’s support for Israel’s refusal to negotiate with the Palestinians. Many of its members served as advisers to John McCain’s presidential campaign. Bill Kristol is still listed as PNAC’s chairman, and is known to be “exceptionally close” to the senator. McCain’s top foreign policy aide, Randy Scheunemann, serves as PNAC’s project director. McCain spokesperson Michael Goldfarb is also listed as a PNAC research associate.
With an uncertain future and a new administration casting doubt on press freedoms, the danger is clear: The truth is at risk.
