The major media widely reported the January 5 meeting President George W. Bush
had with current and former secretaries of State and Defense at the White House
to discuss the war in Iraq. In fact, President Bush and the other participants
posed in the Oval Office for the photo in this article. However, the media overlooked a very important aspect of the photo, and that
is that 14 of the 17 policymakers in the picture currently belong to the Council
on Foreign Relations. Two others (Rumsfeld and Laird) are formers members
of the CFR. Of the 17, George W. Bush himself is the only one who has not belonged
to the organization.
