The Infamous PNAC Document

In September 2000 the neo-straussian think-tank, called The Project for the New American Century (PNAC), published the now infamous document entitled Rebuilding America’s Defences.

In the wake of September 11th 2001 this document has come under increased scrutiny and has been widely quoted by critics of the War on Terrorism, as pointing to establishment complicity in the attacks of 9/11. It called for a revolution within the US military establishment so the US would become “tommorow’s dominant force”. This may be a slow process however, without, “some catastrophic and catalysing event like a new Pearl Harbour.”

The Project counts leaders of the US military, political, media, academic, and corporate, establishment amongst its subscribers. Including David Epstein, Paul Wolfowitz, William Kristol, Robert Kagan, Donald Rumsfeld, Richard Perle, Francis Fukuyama, John R. Bolton, Dick Cheney, Jeb Bush, Steve Forbes, and so on.
