Committee on the Present Danger
If you flipped through the NYT yesterday, you probably saw the full-page ad announcing the formation of the Committee on the Present Danger, a group of unreconstructed Cold Warriors committed to saving us all from terrorism. But it seems that the group's managing director, Peter Hannaford, served as a lobbyist a few years ago for Austria's soft-fascist Freedom Party. That connection was exposed yesterday on a weblog, and the honorable Mr. Hannaford has since been forced to leave the group.
