Reference version of Deleted PNAC List

After the election of George W. Bush in 2000, many members of the Project for the New American Century, or signatories of PNAC's policy documents, such as the Statement of Principles (PNAC 1997) or the Letter to President Clinton on Iraq (PNAC 1998), were appointed to official positions within the President's administration, while others served in advisory roles.

Scholar Inderjeet Parmar has noted that

"The PNAC's 33 leaders were highly connected with the American state - displaying 115 such connections: 27 with the Department of Defense, 13 with State, 12 with the White House, 10 with the National Security Council, and 23 with Congress".

      Overall, that 2000 report reads like a blueprint for current Bush defense policy. Most of what it advocates, the Bush administration has tried to accomplish.
      That close tracking of recommendation with current policy is hardly surprising, given the current positions of the people who contributed to the 2000 report.
