I find in interesting it has on board, Francis Fukuyama, a prominent neoconservative, even though it claims to be "nonpartisan think tank".

Relationship to Neoconservatism
As a key Reagan Administration contributor to the formulation of the Reagan Doctrine, Fukuyama is an important figure in the rise of Neoconservatism. He was active in the Project for the New American Century think tank starting in 1997, and as a member co-signed the organization's letter recommending that President Bill Clinton support Iraqi insurgencies in the overthrow of then-President of Iraq, Saddam Hussein.<1>


it is arguable that any group can be considered "nonpartisan" that prominently positions Fukuyami.
Could be, but I have my doubts.

The real question is why any democratic candidate USES such a "think tank".

1. Easy question to answer-

The Clintons have yet again retained the services of James Woolsey as a "National Security Adviser". Of course you know that he was also a signatory to the 1998 letter to President Clinton from PNAC.

This is the war party.
