Hate to break it to you Dis, but you're dead wrong. The PNAC was the creation of people at the highest level of the White House and Pentagon. Two of the biggest players in the PNAC are Wolfowitz and Cheney. You don't get much higher than those two.
I do have something against the "thinktank" concept, and the cottage industry of corruption it has created. What these thinktanks do is create power bases. These thinktanks can keep the same political creatures around Washington for decades. They provide a source of continuity of power. In fact, I believe that the thinktanks have taken over much of the workings of the White House and that the administration is nothing but a dog and pony show to deliver what ever strategy comes from these thinktanks. The membership of these thinktanks is cross polonated with the same individuals and same leadership. What is really disturbing is that these thinktanks all exist and operate on the same money from the same half dozen endowments. There is an elite that runs the show in this country, and they do so from the confines of the non-elected thinktank establishment.
