Washington Post: The Present Danger

Declaring that "the world war against Islamic terrorism is the test
of our time" and warning, "in this war, our enemies do not
distinguish between Democrats and Republicans," Senators Joe
Lieberman and Jon Kyl announced the launch of the third incarnation
of the Committee on the Present Danger. In the 1950s and 1970s, the
CPD pushed for massive Cold War military spending. "The Committee
intends to remain active until the present danger is no longer a
threat, however long that takes," said CPD Chair and former CIA
director James Woolsey. Other CPD 2004 members include American
Enterprise Institute, Heritage Foundation and Boeing Company
associates.
