I don't find any of this surprising,...except of course for this little revealing tidbit being PUBLICLY  posted on the spy school's website;...

"FDD claims that it's partly funded by the US State Department. Its Leadership Council and Board of Advisers comprise many high-profile conservative politicians and public figures -- including former House speaker Newt Gingrich, Sen. Joseph Lieberman (I-CT), Weekly Standard editor William Kristol, Rep. Eric Cantor (R-VA), former Bush official Richard Perle and columnist Charles Krauthammer."

Can anyone explain why journalists/columnists would be deemed worthy or appropriate as "leaders" or "advisors" to an institution that concerns itself with espionage and military matters?! Unless of course, as many believe, there are journalists in our society who work primarily for "the Man".

Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm.
