Just when you thought PNAC was gone.....

There is a "new" version.

And before we get into the details, let me tell you that Madeleine K. Albright
and Richard L. Armitage are on the Board of Directors, the WH has hired people from the Center,
and JP Morgan Chase is partnered with the Center ( see: http://investor.shareholder.com/jpmorganchase/releasedetail.cfm?ReleaseID=574891)

This is Wiki's take on it. Worth the read, the below is essentially it, except for the discussion on Energy Security on the the Wiki page,

The Center for a New American Security (CNAS) is a Washington, D.C.-based think tank established in 2007 by co-founders Michèle Flournoy and Kurt M. Campbell which specializes in U.S. national security issues. CNAS's stated mission is to "develop strong, pragmatic and principled national security and defense policies that promote and protect American interests and values."<1> CNAS focuses on terrorism and irregular warfare, the future of the U.S. military, the emergence of Asia as a global power center, and the national security implications of natural resource consumption. Deputy Secretary of State James Steinberg has called CNAS "an indispensable feature on the Washington landscape." Speaking at the CNAS annual conference in June 2009, U.S. Central Command Commander GEN David Petraeus observed that "CNAS has, in a few short years, established itself as a true force in think tank and policy-making circles"

The Obama administration has hired several CNAS employees for key jobs.<4> Founders Flournoy and Campbell currently serve as the Undersecretary of Defense for Policy and the Assistant Secretary of State for East Asian and Pacific Affairs, respectively. In June 2009 The Washington Post suggested, "In the era of Obama...the Center for a New American Security may emerge as Washington's go-to think tank on military affairs.] CNAS scholars include John Nagl] David Kilcullen, Andrew Exum, Thomas E. Ricks, Robert D. Kaplan, and Marc Lynch.

CNAS is relatively small, with around 30 employees and a budget under $6 million. Despite its small size, CNAS is influential within the national security policy community, and has been able to “punch above our weight”, according to former CNAS Director of External Relations and now-Principal Deputy Assistant Secretary of Defense for Public Affairs Price Floyd.
