DefensePolicyBoard

From 911Encyclopedia:

The idea of the Defense Policy Board was to influence (or manipulate) US Media, or inflitrating them with neoconservative ideas. Chairman of the Defense Policy Board is Richard Perle(->), former Reagan Assistant Secretary of Defense for International Security Affairs, now based at the neo-conservative AmericanEnterpriseInstitute. Perle was the joint initiator with neo-con William Kristol of the Rupert Murdoch-funded Weekly Standard. The United States allowed this board to force changes in U.S. policy through an "outside-inside" operation. The heads are basically described as Neocons. Other members of this board are former Secretary of State Henry A. Kissinger (->), who is a member of Hollinger's (->) International Advisory Board; former House Speaker Newt Gingrich; former CIA-Director R. Woolsey,James; former Deputy Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff Adm. David E. Jeremiah; former Vice President Dan Quayle; former Defense and Energy Secretary James R. Schlesinger (->); and former President Carter's Defense Secretary Harold Brown. The Defense Policy Board is connected with the so called "Wolfowitz Cabal" (->), a term for friends around Perle, Paul Wolfowitz, Woolsey,James, Richard Armitage and Paul Zoellick. On Oct. 7th 2001, the day the Afghanistan bombings began, this cabal again attempted to provoke a rift between the United States and members of the UN Security Council, especially Russia and China, by altering the text of a letter from U.S. Ambassador to the UN John D. Negroponte (->), which provoked an argument between Colin Powell and Paul Wolfowitz, who was responsible for the manipulation of this letter.
