LTTE = Letter to the Editor
PNAC = Project for a New American Century, neo-con think tank Wolfie, Rummy, Newt, Perle, Cheney, Weber and other chickenhawks.

Project for the New American Century. Cheney and Rumsfeld were the top 2 planners I believe. I don't know the other one.

3. Here ya go
Letter to the editor
Project for the New American Century -- a neocon organization dedicated to spreading "American influence" around the world. In other words, American domination. The main "intellectual" backbone of Bush's international "policy."

4. PNAC is the Project for a New American Century
They advocate proactive use of the military as a means of "spreading democracy." Iraq was PNAC's first real-world test and to say the least, it's not going too well.

I'm not familiar with the other term.

6. "Thanks in Advance"
means; Thank you for telling me this information and I'm thanking you now instead of after I'm told what the Letters mean". :)
