Hey, a characteriztion of a "think tank" and "activists" as liberal and leftwing! First time I've seen this. Of course, if you Google "Brookings Institution" only one article of the first 10 does this, but it's a start.

Bush Looks to Europe for Help in Iraq
Jun 25, 9:41 AM (ET)
By DEB RIECHMANN

WASHINGTON (AP) - Criticized for his go-it-alone approach in Iraq, President Bush is trying to build a new consensus among allies wary of a U.S. leader whose policies are widely unpopular in Europe.

...."America has never been at a lower point in the minds of citizens around the world," says Thomas Mann, a political analyst at Brookings Institution, a liberal-leaning think tank. "Our relations with other countries, including natural allies, have seldom been as strained. To be associated with President Bush and current American policy is a political liability around the world right now."

...Left-wing activists planned protests in Dublin on Friday night and the summit venue Saturday. The protesters want Ireland to stop allowing U.S. military planes to land at Shannon airport, a strategic refueling point en route to Iraq. Protests are expected in several European cities this weekend.
