Dana Priest's Husband Gets Joe Wilson Media Gigs

Pulitzer Prize winning Dana Priest is married to William Goodfellow. William Goodfellow is the Executive Director of the the Center for International Policy (CIP).

Here is what Discover The Networks has to say about the Center For International Policy:

Dana Priest on left.

America’s Red Army

One of the most sophisticated of Fenton’s anti-war projects is the co-mingling of Win Without War and the Center for International Policy (CIP).

Before 9/11, CIP, a Fenton Communications client, mainly acted as Fidel Castro’s greatest “think tank” ally. Much of its million-dollar budget was spent lobbying to end economic sanctions and travel restrictions against Cuba.

Now, it has another mission. Fenton has established a “war room” with CIP called The Iraq Policy Information Program (IPIP). Its main job is getting the anti-Bush foreign policy message out to the media and providing guests for talk shows. A featured speaker of the IPIP is former ambassador Joe Wilson, one of the Bush administration’s most vocal enemies.

Like Moveon.org and Win Without War, the contact for the Iraq Policy Information Program is Fenton Communications. Win Without War also collects tax-deductible donations through CIP.

So Dana Priest's husband runs an operation that gets Joe Wilson speaking gigs.

Don't you just love our one party media?

[Sam Hill]

A "small world" ping.

[Cicero]

Good catch. Next, I suppose we'll find that he's on the Pulitzer Prize Committee.

[Dog Gone]

And the irony about them salivating over Valerie Plame, while not looking at a real intelligence leak, is predictable.

[Doctor Raoul]

Pimpin' ain't easy as they say in the White House Correspondent's Association.

[isrul]

Aren't these scum what used to be called the fifth column?

[randog]

lol!

[lexington minuteman 1775]

I AM SHOCKED I TELL YOU!/sarcasm on.

[demlosers]

Incestuous.

[Doctor Raoul]

And Dana's a grad of UC Santa Cruz, where they HATE the military. And she's the Washington Post's Pentagon reporter.

Maybe they should call it the "Santa Cruz Post"?

[kcvl]

Well, ain't that special?!!!

[Doctor Raoul]

Aren't these scum what used to be called the fifth column?

The White House Press Corps is more like the fourth grade.

Ecuador RPCV Randolph 'Ry' Ryan was a crusader for Peace


snip



Mr. Ryan also won other prizes, including a Eugene Pulliam Editorial Writing Fellowship in 1989.

After leaving the Globe in 1996, Mr. Ryan worked in Bosnia first as a spokesman for the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees, then as a political analyst for the private International Crisis Group, and then helped to train Yugoslav journalists for the International Research and Exchange Board.

In 2000, he helped plan the UN's special session on social development, held in Geneva, and he had since been a senior fellow at the Center for International Policy. There, according to Goodfellow, the center director, the two teamed up to help derail the Bush administration appointment of Otto Reich, one of those they felt put out erroneous information in Central America.

Dana Priest on left.

I am glad they told me.

[Conservativegreatgrandma]

I would love to express how I really feel about these people.

[HEY4QDEMS]

Damn, I was hoping this would evolve into something more juicy like say, a "sex for secrets" scandal.

This left wing association stuff is just so worn out. LOL

[saganite]

Another post here made a pretty good case for Wilson getting his orders from McCarthy for his trip to Niger. Conveniently, McCarthy chose to leak her info to Priest who's husband has ties to Wilson. It's a cozy little circle, don't you think?

[Sam Hill]

"And the irony about them salivating over Valerie Plame, while not looking at a real intelligence leak, is predictable."

And never mind that Priest's "stories" about the CIA gulags in Europe turned out to be COMPLETELY UNTRUE.

They hurt America and helped our enemies, so they have to reward her somehow.

[Racehorse]

So Dana Priest's husband runs an operation that gets Joe Wilson speaking gigs.

So?

If I were interested in Dana Priest at all, I'd wonder how Mary McCarthy feels about asking her for a character reference.

Wonder how the CIA might feel about hubby giving the defrocked spook a spot at the CIP?  Now, that would be interesting.

[SoCalPol]

It doesn't get any better ping

Dana Priest’s Husband Gets Joe Wilson Media Gigs. . .

Ping

[onyx]

Whoa!

[true_blue_texican]

Inbreds!!

[gaspar]

Dana Priest's husband, the very far left William Goodfellow, has been a supporter of Marxist causes for years and received deserved opprobrium for his support of the Cambodian Khmer Rouge. His CIP was a hang-out for the very left wing Anthony Lake who, thanks to an infrequent Republican revolt, was deep sixed in 1997 and blocked from taking over the NSC during the Clinton administration. Priest, Goodfellow, Lake, the Khmer Rouge -- not much to choose from.

[dighton]

As so often, good work.

[pandemoniumreigns]

I think these 4th graders could and would do a better job...

[parisa]

It's amazing how similar the actions and mindset of these "enlightened" American liberals are to the ones in long ago Iran who mindlessly went out in the streets demonstrating in support of their own nemesis, the islamist khomeini, whose very first act after taking power was promptly to kill tens of thousands of them, imprison many others and drive millions out of the country, or like shirin ebadi dismiss them from their esteemed jobs - she was a female judge before the islamist takeover. Now these "enlightened" American liberals are orchestrating their own annihilation by undermining their government's WAT which is fought so we or our children will not be facing WWIII down the line which will certainly bring about the end of the world.

How ironic. The more things change the more they stay the same!

No matter how hard you try to shake these liberals out of their reckless idiocy all you hear is the thud of their pea brains against their thick skull.

[68skylark]

Interesting. I've also heard some speculation that Mary McCarthy is the one who got Joe Wilson hired for his trip to Niger. The link is here:

I remember back in 2004, the NY Times did this silly chart to try to convince readers that the Swift Boat vets had connections to the Bush White House -- it was a real stretch. Now that we've got a new web of connections on the left, I wonder if they'll do the same thing.

[Sam Hill]

Thanks.

[McGavin999]

No, no, no, no no. The Pulitzer committee is made up of her mom and dad.

[USS Alaska]

Dana's next gig.

Dana Priest on the left.......kinda hard to tell the difference..

[freema]

LEFTUS INCESTUS INFECTUS

[muawiyah]

I know people who would detach this gentleman's skin from his body if they knew he was pro Khmer Rouge.

[prairiebreeze]

Can't you just see ol' Ahmed really thinking that Priest shouldn't even know how to write, shouldn't be anywhere except locked in her home wearing a burka and is good for nothing except doing his chores and submitting to him.

If Ahmed had his way, Dana would be slave-meat. Sheesh what an idiot.

[mystery-ak]

Makes you sick doesn't it!....

[FreedomSurge]

But the most egregious of all possible sins would be to question their patriotism.

[Sam Hill]

More news on the Priest Wilson nexus.

Dana Priest and Mel Goodman shared a stage behind the CIP banner in October 2003.  See the first page of their news letter (warning, pdf file):

CIP’s Mel Goodman with Washington Post reporter Dana Priest at CIP’s “Cowboy Diplomacy” conference on national security, held in the U.S. Senate, October 2003.

Indeed, Dana Priest shared the stage that day with none other than the notorious liar, Joe Wilson. See page 5:

CIP’s “Cowboy Diplomacy” conference featured speakers Ambassador Joe Wilson, Ann Wright and John Brady Kiesling. Both Wright and Kiesling are former Foreign Service Officers who resigned to protest the Iraq war.

[Mo1]

Oh my ... nice catch

[kcvl]

Shouldn't Dana Priest disclose the fact that her husband, the anti-war activist is William Goodfellow, Executive Director, (CIP) Center for International Policy?!


"Unbiased media alert"...

[Suzy Quzy]

LOVE IT!! Is Dana's BEST friend by any chance either Mary McCarthy or better yet VALERIE PLAME?? Incestuous bunch of traitors. Maybe they will ALL HANG TOGETHER...LITERALLY!

[Suzy Quzy]

Fifth Column...Cabal....Coup-Plotters.

[Enchante]

Gadzooks, Sam Hill! What a find!! Of course some will try to dismiss the significance by saying total strangers can appear on a panel together, but in this case it is a CIP-sponsored event, and the fact that Dana Priest's husband Wm. Goodfeces saw fit to bring his wife together on this panel with the likes of Joe Wilson and Mel Goodman is MOST interesting.......... and let's remember the May 3, 2003 meeting of the "Senate Democratic Policy Council" that brought Joe Wilson together with Nick Kristof...... wish we could trace all of the nefarious dealings that go on behind the scenes among journalists and the likes of Wilson, et al. As it is, we're mainly limited to collecting the public points of contact and public statements and then trying to "connect the dots".......

[demlosers]

Great find. :)

[pawdoggie]

If Ahmed had his way, Dana would be slave-meat. Sheesh what an idiot.

Yes, but a very useful idiot, n'est-ce pas?

[Fedora]

Nice work. Haven't seen it mentioned yet (still catching up on today's threads and if I'm repeating something bear with me), so for reference's sake I'll add that the Center for International Policy was a spinoff of the Fund for Peace (Soviet/CPUSA moneylaundering conduit tied to the Institute for Policy Studies network) that was cofounded in 1975 by Lindsay Mattison and Orlando Letelier, an agent with links to Cuban and East German intelligence. Letelier was CIP's director when William Goodfellow (a Pol Pot apologist mentioned above in the thread) was deputy director. CIP's staff/advisors have included Anthony Lake (who temporarily replaced John Deutch as CIA Director and was in turn replaced by Sandy Berger at the Clinton NSC during the coverup of Chinagate and Deutch's mishandling of classified information (see discussion at Post 35 and following http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/1604664/posts); and D. Gareth Porter (aka Gary Porter, another Pol Pot apologist who worked for a North Vietnamese news bureau before becoming legislative aide to newly-elected Senator John Kerry in the early 80s), among others. These folks were actively involved in helping Kerry's support of the Sandinistas in the 1980s and are mentioned in various literature on that topic.

[KCRW]

Wow- Freepers are good. Nice photos. Great job.

[kabar]

It is part of the incestuous media. They are married and/or related to one another like some inbred tribe.

[eric_da_grate]

I'm past words, too.
