Jeb Bush was one of the founding members of PNAC, Project for the New American Century

A caller on this Monday's Thom Hartmann radio show expressed some of the same frustration I've had with our corporate media and their refusal to mention the fact that Jeb Bush was one of the founding members of PNAC, the neoconservative think tank known as the Project for the New American Century, while discussing his ever evolving positions on whether or not it was right for America to invade Iraq.

Hartmann wasn't sure if Bush had signed the 1998 letter to Bill Clinton, and it appears he's correct and that Bush didn't sign it from the archives available, but as I already discussed here, his name was on some of their other documents, like this one from 1997.

good old-fashioned corruption surrounding Jeb Bush,
that the MSM should be more interested in. Makes better headlines for them.

That is, if Jeb manages to recover at all from his Iraq war quagmire.
