which was also under the "leadership" of Cambone and Boykin. It was another neo-con outfit that supposedly would exclude reliance on the CIA-in this case for developing Human Intelligence/HUMINT and rapid response.

It was probably operating out of one of those many Offices of Douglas Feith. I have no doubts that it was part of the Crusade of Boykin et al.
