The Manhattan-based American Center for Democracy (ACD) says on its website that it “monitors and exposes the enemies of freedom and their modus operandi, and explores pragmatic ways to counteract their methods.” Its objective, says ACD, is to “supplement government efforts to defend democratic institutions from the global threat of ‘radical Islam’ and terrorism.” The ACD was founded in 2003 by Rachel Ehrenfeld and includes the Center for the Study of Corruption and the Rule of Law (CSC), which Ehrenfeld founded in 2001. Ehrenfeld is a controversial writer associated with a number of neoconservative outfits like the American Enterprise Institute. Her work, which often focuses on terrorism financing, has been criticized for having an overt bias toward U.S. and “Israeli” interests and for being sensationalist, etc. [Read the rest at Right Web link.]
