At first sight the PNAC seems like a conservative think tank but it has roots in the leftist organisation NY Intellectuals. Richard Perle published in World Affairs of James Denton (Victims of Communism with John Singlaub of World Anti-Communist League, Freedom House, published by Jeane Kirkpatrick, consultant to Viktor Orban and Open Society Foundations). World Affairs also published David Rieff (son of Susan Sontag).
