In the Tanks

Here's what's going on at the tanks:

• In case you can't get enough news on CAFTA there is a new blog dedicated to its legislative adventure. [Heritage Foundation]
• Jumping on the anti-poverty bandwagon the Independent Institute has launched the Center on Global Prosperity and tapped Alvaro Vargas Llosa (son of the famous Mario) to head it. [Center on Global Prosperity]
• CAFTA is not free, fair nor smart. It is too limited or too damaging. It does not help the US or anyone for that matter. Overall a knee-jerk bash, but a good primer on those that oppose CAFTA. [Center for American Progress]
• How to fix the UN? Here's a whole bunch of words on how not to fix the UN. Ignore the title since it dedicates zip to specific proposals on the right way to set the UN right. [Brookings Institute]
• How much time do you have on your hands? Enough to read a 100 page report on the "Military We Need: The Defense Requirements of the Bush Doctrine"? Let's just say it's not cheap. [American Enterprise Institute]
• Follow France? This is one of several proposals to disabuse Iran of its nuclear ambitions. Surprising considering that this is essentially a conservative journal albeit with a realist bent. [ Hoover Institute - Policy Review]
