The CPD doesn’t get enough attention. So I’m asking Blogs of War readers to go check them out:
The Committee on the Present Danger is dedicated to protecting and expanding democracy by supporting policies aimed at winning the global war against terrorism and the movements and ideologies that drive it. We will support policies that use appropriate means–military, economic, political, social–to achieve this goal. We are an international, non-partisan organization from the policy, political, academic, business, labor and professional communities. We support the advance of the rule of law, the guarantee of fundamental human rights and the development of civil societies in all regions.Our mission is to educate free people everywhere about the threat posed by global radical Islamist and fascist terrorist movements; to counsel against appeasement of terrorists; to support policies that are part of a strategy of victory against this menace to freedom and to support policies that encourage the development of civil society and democracy in those regions from which the terrorists emanate.
Supporters of the war on terror will find lots of great reading material on the Views of Our Members and Newsroom pages.
