Did you know that the International Republican Institute helped with the Afghanistan election?
There was a LTTE in the Washington Post remarking that they were there and saw plenty of Afghan women participating. http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2009/09/08/AR2009090803491.html

Now who is behind the IRI?
Here are a couple of names you'll know

Board of Directors
U.S. Senator John McCain, Chairman

Ambassador L. Paul Bremer, III

Full list is here: http://www.iri.org/board.asp

1. And they helped the coup leadership in Honduras, and the Mousavi campaign in Iran.
And the US paid professional "dissidents" in Cuba. And the "opposition" in Venezuela.

Their grubby fingers are in so many pies.
