A friend passed along this semi-desperate-sounding email from JINSA, the neocon thinktank that gave us the Iraq war (according to Colin Powell). He wondered whether it means JINSA is in trouble:
The Jewish Institute for National Security Affairs (JINSA) is the only Jewish organization whose sole purpose is American national defense and a close security relationship between the United States and Israel and our like-minded democratic allies around the world.
Rarely has our mission been more important and rarely has our mission been more in jeopardy. That's why I'm writing to request your financial support. In this current economic climate, JINSA needs your help now more than ever, to ensure that issues of security stay prevalent in the minds of policy makers.
We have never before asked the readers of our JINSA Reports for help – but we need it now.
Don't get your hopes up too much. I believe it takes a silver stake at midnight on a full moon.
