BOB Kerrey on CNN Now!
Let's see if Paula Zahn has the guts to ask him about Kean's comments to CBS news.

Committee for the Liberation of Iraq" Sets Up Shop



The new committee appears to be the latest organization used by neoconservatives and other right-wingers in a long line of similar front groups stretching back over a quarter of a century, first to the Coalition for a Democratic Majority and then to the more bipartisan Committee on the Present Danger (CPD), which campaigned against détente and arms control treaties during the Carter administration.

During the 1980s, they spawned new groups--consisting mostly of the same people--such as the Committee for the Free World; Prodemca (Friends of the Democratic Center in Central America), which supported Reagan administration policies in Central America; and the Institute for Religion and Democracy (IRD), which campaigned against the overseas work of mainstream Protestant churches and liberation theology of the Roman Catholic Church; among others.

Many of the activists in these groups were associated with AEI, the leading neoconservative think tank in Washington and one whose foreign-policy positions have never enjoyed as much influence as now.


Looks like George Schultz will be involved as well. Nice to know some felons can get work!

7. This paragraph from same LOBE article
Scheunemann told FPIF that they are still recruiting members for the Committee's board of directors. So far, however, former Secretary of State George Shultz, former Democratic Sen. Bob Kerrey, and ret. General Wayne Downing, a former lobbyist for the Iraqi National Congress (INC) who worked as Bush's top counter-terrorism official on his National Security Council staff until he unexpectedly resigned last summer, have all signed on.

3. What an opportunity
In all fairness, Paula Zahn may not know of the CBS story as it broke just within the last couple of hours. But WHAT an opportunity to have a 9-11 commission member (nominated by Daschle) on live!

5. Not known?
Of course she would. They all would. Word travels like wildfire in those circles.
