Dana Priest - Troubling

This article on Dana Priest of the Washington Post came out on May 9th, 2006, but it details her curious ties and troubling connections. To from the article:

"She is married to William Goodfellow, a far-left political activist and current executive director of the Center for International Policy (CIP), who has been at the vanguard of many of the most rabid attacks on Bush Administration policy.

....In 2002, Goodfellow joined forces with Fenton communications—a “progressive” PR firm whose client list includes CIP, IPS, moveon.org, the Heinz family foundation, the Ford Foundation, George Soros’ Open Society Institute, and an assorted host of left-leaning environmental and “human rights” groups—to fight George Bush’s “lies” and “rush to war.”

With Fenton’s help, CIP initiated the Iraq Policy Information Project (IPIP), a group of diplomats and academics opposed to the Bush administration’s Iraq policy. Among IPIP’s star speakers was former Ambassador Joseph Wilson, who became famous for writing a New York Times column attacking the rationale for the war in Iraq and whose wife, Valerie Plame, was exposed publicly as a CIA employee. It would turn out that Plame helped arrange her husband’s mission to Africa, supposedly to investigate an Iraq-uranium link, resulting in the Times piece. Both would later surface as contributors to the Kerry campaign. (Recently, the newsletter containing photographs of Priest, Wilson and Goodman at a meeting was mysteriously removed from the CIP website.)"


There is more, but reading this, should bring to mind names like Joe Wilson (who incidently get his gigs via Goodfellow), Ray McGovern, Larry C. Johnson, VIPS, among others.

I knew someone would get sloppy.....

Enjoy.
