Did you happen to catch the Hudson Institute Panel yesterday? Richard Perle and Gary Schmitt, the Ex. Dir. of PNAC were waxing eloquent. And they faced an Economist staffer and Joshua Marshall for balance. I didn't see the signs you are of the imminent demise of PNAC. Not that I wouldn't be delighted if the whole nightmare world they are trying to create would vanish, mind you.
But, they do seem to be showing remarkable resilience in the face of the ugly reality they are creating.

Richard Perle, still on the job
