"Taking On The PNAC"
Douglas A. Wallace is a retired lawyer in Nevada who filed a class-action suit in U.S. District Court in Reno, Nevada against George W. Bush and Dick Cheney. It was served on January 17, 2006. According to the document: "This class action lawsuit seeks an injunction against the Defendants from further implementation of the Project for the New American Century (PNAC) without a constitutional 2/3 vote of Congress and full education of the American public. The lawsuit alleges the plan was the basis for deception behind the Iraq war."

Scroll down to Feb. 3-4:

The Project for the New American Century, commonly called the PNAC, appears to be just another initialed group to many. Few U.S. citizens are aware of the organization and its goals.

To make my point, a few nights ago, I spoke to the Atheist Coalition of San Diego about my upcoming book, The Mother of all Battles. There were about 70 people in the audience, most of whom are above-average in political knowledge compared to the general public. When I asked who had heard of the PNAC, only about 20 people raised their hands. This shows that even many people who are politically aware lack knowledge of the group.

In 1997, the PNAC published its agenda. It is no secret. The group has a website (www.newamericancentury.org) on which it states the 21st century is America’s time to take over the world militarily. It designates areas of the world by numbers and how and why to get them conquered.

Sounds like a bunch of nutcases. Well, the signers of the statement of principles are, but, unfortunately, many are well-entrenched in today’s U.S. administraton: Elliott Abrams, Gary Bauer, William Bennett, Dick Cheney, Eliot A. Cohen, Zalmay Khalizad, I. Lewis Libby, Donald Rumsfeld, and Paul Wolfowitz are just some of the signers. Even Jeb Bush, the person who rigged the Florida election results in the 2000 election, is on board.

The document is scary. Anybody who read it in 1997 would have thought that these were a few crazies (the actual name given to most of these people by the Republican Party itself in the 1990s) who were pipe-dreaming. Unfortunately, their agenda has been met almost to the letter. The only laughable matter of the document is the predictions of how easy it would be to take over Iraq.

2. I think this person is absolutely correct. If our foreign policy is based
on a plan that the American know nothing about or whose plan it is, it's time to make some noise about it. A class action suit is a start.

3. I wish this was getting some publicity, if only to inform
anyone with a shred of curiosity. Noise would be good, but it's not happening sadly.
