Losing the War for Reality

To understand America's sharp decline in the early 21st Century,
one must look at its lost ability to deal with reality. In a new
book, former CIA analyst Melvin Goodman traces this problem back
to the work of Robert Gates and others in the 1980s to "politicize"
intelligence.

For our spring fundraiser, we have set a modest goal of $25,000,
but we must reach that mark if we are to continue operation much
longer.

So, please make a tax-deductible donation today. Or, if you know
someone involved with a charitable foundation that's interested in
an informed public, you might urge them to contact us.

You can make a secure and tax-deductible donation by credit card
online at
https://secure.democracyinaction.org/dia/organizations/consortiumnews/shop/custom.jsp?donate_page_KEY=2043

Or by mailing a check to Consortium for Independent Journalism
(CIJ); Suite 102-231; 2200 Wilson Blvd.; Arlington VA 22201. ( For
readers wanting to use PayPal, you can address contributions to our
account, which is named "consortnew@aol.com.").

With donations of $100, we'll send you an autographed gift copy of
our latest book, Neck Deep: The Disastrous Presidency of George W.
Bush. (Or you can request that we substitute either Robert Parry's
Lost History or his book on the rise of the Bush dynasty, Secrecy
& Privilege.)

With donations of $150 or more, we'll send the hard cover version
of Neck Deep. (We also have a few copies left of Parry's Trick or
Treason, which we can substitute, if you wish, while supplies last.)

As always, thank you for your support!
