The Carnegie Endowment for International Peace Report

Michael O'Brien (whose photography of Washington is viewable down the left column) is also on the staff of the CEIP which released the report on Iraq's WMDs which has Limbaugh, Hannity, Powell and everyone else on the other side in a sweat-induced fit. He sends the link to the report and we're more than happy to pass it along so you can read it unfiltered.

This has been a great week for the wingnuts giving cred and publicity to organizations like CEIP, MoveOn.org, Take Back The Media and many other liberal guerillas and good guys. Apparently, what they have to say and show are important enough for national right-wing talk shows and the Republican party to give them top billing in their talking points. Well played, people.

Read the report. As Michael points out, it's the first scholarly report of its kind without spin or commentary. By the way, the CEIP isn't anything new - it was founded by Andrew Carnegie almost a century ago - in 1910. They have a little more experience than anyone in the White House on the subject of winning hearts and minds.
