There was an article in the Economist last month (I found a link, but it'll cost you $2.95 to read it) about some troubles with this bunch.
"Daddy Warbucks" (no pun intended) Conrad Black's problems are apparently bad news for the whole team. The war makes them all look bad (though of course they blame it on the Army) and there is some infighting going on. Some magazine called "National Interest" apparently has a running feud between some guy name Francis Fukuyama and Charles Krauthammer.
This is a line that I thought was good -- "Iraq looks less like a beachhead for democracy than a failed state in the making, and the war less like a brave idea than a brainwave of think-tankers without military experience".
It's by some guy named Lexington and it's called "Yesterday's men, and tomorrows".
He also says they are a clever lot and even if they get dumped by George, they won't be going away.
