  Right Web | Profile | Frank Gaffney
Gaffney's views on U.S. foreign policy were shaped during the formative years of the neoconservative political faction in the early 1970s, when some disaffected liberals rallied around Sen. "Scoop" Jackson, a hardline Democrat known for his combative support of Israel and sharp anti-communism.
Gaffney discounted evidence that the country was rapidly disintegrating and dismissed the sincerity of Gorbachev's overtures of cooperation with the United States.
Gaffney has frequently invoked the notorious Team B exercise of the mid-1970s—during which a team of outside analysts reinterpreted CIA intelligence regarding the Soviet threat to the United States—as a model for future threat assessment efforts.

 Frank Gaffney distorted Clinton's domestic secu ... [Media Matters]   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-01)
Frank J. Gaffney, Jr., founder and president of the conservative Center for Security Policy, included factual errors and misleading information in his July 22 column, "The Bad Old Days," which appeared on the center's website and on David Horowitz's right-wing FrontPageMagazine.com.
Gaffney also included as an example the "wall" designed to restrict information sharing between intelligence agencies and law enforcement operations, holding Jamie Gorelick (9-11 commissioner and former deputy attorney general in the Clinton administration) partially responsible and naming it as a failing of the Clinton administration to adequately ensure national security.
Gaffney asserted, "[A]t the instigation of a close Clinton associate, then-Senator Bob Torricelli [D-NJ], the CIA was barred from using spies who had unsavory records." In fact, the policy only required that senior personnel approve the use of prospective informants with questionable backgrounds, as necessary for national security.

 Frank Gaffney on Security on National Review Online
Largely obscured by the DP World flap, the government entity whose secretive, unaccountable deliberations contributed greatly to its intensity — the Committee on Foreign Investment in the United States (CFIUS) — opened an investigation in early March into the potential security implications of Dubai International Capital's $1.2 billion acquisition of Doncasters Group.
More importantly, the fact that such an ill-advised transaction could possibly get this far is proof positive of the urgent need for a new, more transparent, accountable and rigorous mechanism for evaluating foreign investments like this one that can adversely affect the security of the United States.

As Perle's long-time protege and associate, Gaffney sits at the centre of a network of interlocking think tanks, foundations, lobby groups, arms manufacturers and individuals that constitute the coalition of neo-conservatives, aggressive nationalists like Cheney and Rumsfeld and Christian Right activists responsible for the unilateralist trajectory of U.S. foreign policy since 9/11.
Gaffney, a ubiquitous ''talking head'' on TV in the run-up to the war in Iraq, sits on the boards of CPD's parent organisations, the Foundation for the Defence of Democracies (FDD) and Americans for Victory Over Terrorism (AVOT).
His article opens by trying to pre-empt an argument that is already being heard on the right against expanding Bush's ''war on terrorism'': that since a plurality of Bush voters identified ''moral values'' as their chief concern, the president should stick to his social conservative agenda rather than expand the war.

Gaffney assumes that any Israeli who moves forward toward peace will cave in to ever-accelerating Palestinian demands once they have "pocketed" the latest concessions.
This insults the intelligence of Israeli leaders to negotiate a viable deal for their country and is inconsistent with the history of the last five years: after all, Palestinians do not now have a state and they know that Israel will not return to its pre-1967 borders.

 Frank Gaffney vs. PBS
WHEN IT WAS REVEALED last week that Frank Gaffney Jr.'s contribution to PBS's "America at a Crossroads" series was not going to be aired, conservatives around the country knowingly shook their heads and clucked their tongues.
Gaffney, a hawkish conservative who founded the Center for Security Policy (CSP), served as a producer on an hour long documentary, Islam vs. Islamists: Voices from the Muslim Center, about the harassment moderate Muslims face in America and other Western countries.
PBS has claimed that charges of suppression are ridiculous and that Gaffney's film is being held because it does not purport to the standards necessary for airing on PBS.

Frank Gaffney correctly warns that Gaza may be turned into a haven for terrorists to attack not only Israel but other countries.
Gaffney has, of course, his own agenda and is dead wrong to find an actual link between the Gaza pull-out and the London bombing, but doing so, he is, ironically, mirroring the holistic Islamofascist worldview.

While all seven steps Gaffney listed in an article published Friday morning in the National Review Online have long been favoured by prominent neocons, the article itself, entitled 'Worldwide Value', is the first comprehensive compilation to emerge since Bush's re-election Tuesday.
