Info re: Douglas Feith
Extracted from Right Web
Feith cannot be described by a single label. A fervent militarist with close ties to the military-industrial complex, Feith has repeatedly aligned himself with hardliners in government, working with Richard Perle in the 1980s and then becoming part of the Vulcans along with Rumsfeld, Wolfowitz, and Dick Cheney in the Bush II administration. He worked as a corporate lobbyist in the 1990s for Northrup Grumman, among other military contractors. His political orientation has been distinctly neoconservative, as evident in his affiliations with such groups as the Middle East Forum (MEF), Center for Security Policy (CSP), and Institute for Advanced Strategic and Political Studies (IASPS), and the Jewish Institute for National Security Affairs. Feith has also been associated with the National Institute for Public Policy (NIPP), which promotes missile defense, space weapons, and nuclear weapons development. Feith, along with Max Kampelman, was a team leader for NIPP initiatives, funded by the right-wing Smith Richardson Foundation, for studies advocating the implementation of ambitious missile defense systems.
