#1 Unless there's something about the details or lineage that I missed, this is the third incarnation of the Committee. Perhaps its best known version was in the late 70s, when it sprang up to ring the bell about Soviet strategic nukyler and general military ambitions. As a young and stupid buck, I was generally dismissive of their concerns. Not they were vindicated in every way, but their basic premise that the Soviets had to be confronted proved fairly sensible. Pretty impressive line-up of members - while Woolsey has inexplicably fallen hard for the economically and strategically illiterate chimera of energy independence, he seems very solid on the big questions of the day.

#2 Survey says!

We are fighting Wahabist and Khomeinist operatives. And we should be killing them by the tens of thousands. Shelve the smart bombs, and bring out the Napalm.

#3 Excalibur:
I forgot to mention the Ikhwanis (Muslim Brotherhood). Polls suggest that only 30% of Americans dislike Muslim/Islam. The truth of inherent Muslim aggression is not getting out there. The majority assumes that Muslims are like everybody else. They believe that because they don't understand the Koran, with its supremacist ideology.
