The CAP writers then try to justify their analysis by saying they were simply responding to McClellan's statement that "those were not the words we used." They are correct that McClellan's specific statement did not include the words "Iraq" or "Turkey." But that was undeniably the context of the exchange.
The three CAP writers also accuse us of making a "ridiculous charge" that "McClellan's comments only applied to Iraq after the United States invaded." (their emphasis) But that's exactly what was going on according to press reports at the time.
Finally, the CAP writers correctly observe that their analysis is consistent with several statements by the Bush administration.

 washingtonpost.com: Liberals Get A Think Tank Of Their Own
In the center's temporary offices on 15th Street NW, many of the windowed offices reserved for deep thinkers sit empty, but the bullpen where the PR staff works is crowded and bustling.
One of the center's earliest hires was blogger David Sirota, who patrols the Internet daily before dawn to compose a summary and critique of the day's news from a liberal perspective.
When the center finds its ideas, Podesta said, they are likely to reflect certain values: the spirit of community, opportunity for all, "the rule of law in foreign relations." But he does not claim to have all the answers.

 FrontPage magazine.com :: Think Progress, Act Reactionary by Lowell Ponte
A project of the American Progress Action Fund, a “sister advocacy organization” of the Center for American Progress (CAP) run by former Clinton adviser John Podesta, both heavily funded by leftist billionaire George Soros.
In the lexicon of today’s left “progressives,” these terms can be translated as an agenda favoring socialist redistribution of private wealth and property, socialized medicine, and a world governed by trans-national bodies like the United Nations and no longer ruled by an arrogant, imperialist United States and American corporations.
Think Progress might better be called a blog that “pushes backwards, daily” as a propaganda vehicle for a radical ideology that is obsolete and reactionary: ever-bigger, more intrusive government and its inevitable correlate, ever-diminishing freedom.

The Center for American Progress and its sister organization, the American Progress Action Fund, are at the vanguard of liberal attempts to regain the initiative in the national political debate.
When we criticized them for their tactics, CAP responded with an elaborate rationale for their wording based on US obligations to Turkey under the NATO charter.
In addition, the quote "good thing," which CAP implies came from President Bush or the report, actually came from former Council of Economic Advisers chairman Greg Mankiw in a Feb. 9, 2004 statement that also did not endorse job loss.

 Brendan Nyhan: Center for American Progress vs. Byron York: CAP dissembles again
None of the “headlines” of “The Progress Report,” the daily electronic newsletter of the American Progress Action Fund, cited in the column by Byron York were actually headlines.
His 'headlines' were misleading because they are cherry picked to suggest that the CAP's overarching message is anti-bush, rather than a mix of positve proposals and critical commentary, as it is (and as the actual headlines show).
Whatever CAP may be now, it wasn't during the last month of the campaign.
