Family “Security” Matters
“Engaging American Families In Our Nation’s Security.”
——
—
Family Security Matters (FSM) is a rightist [i.e.leftist/wrongest] advocacy outfit based in Washington, DC, that bills itself as the “national security resource for American families.” Closely connected to other hardline outfits through overlapping board members, FSM has, since 2004, served as a high-profile and controversial advocate of hardline policies on the “war on terror.” It has championed a tough line on Iran, China, and other perceived enemies; supported the Iraq War; and promoted preferential treatment of Israel.
The group’s publications have been the subject of heated criticism, in part because of their often extremist views. A case in point was the August 2007 article, “Conquering the Drawbacks of Democracy,” written by FSM contributor Philip Atkinson, who wrote: ” The simple truth [is] that modern weapons now mean a nation must practice genocide or commit suicide. Israel provides the perfect example. If the Israelis do not raze Iran, the Iranians will fulfill their boast and wipe Israel off the face of the earth. Yet Israel is not popular, and so is denied permission to defend itself. …
Regarding the Iraq War, Atkinson would have preferred using nuclear weapons to defeat Saddam Hussein’s regime: “When faced with the possible threat that the Iraqis might be amassing terrible weapons that could be used to slay millions of citizens of Western Civilization, President Bush took the only action prudence demanded and the electorate allowed: he conquered Iraq with an army. … The wisest course would have been for President Bush to use his nuclear weapons to slaughter Iraqis until they complied with his demands, or until they were all dead. Then there would be little risk or expense and no American army would be left exposed. But if he did this, his cowardly electorate would have instantly ended his term of office, if not his freedom or his life.” (The article, which seems to have been taken off FSM’s website shortly after publication, is available on WebCite, which provides cached versions of web page: http://www.webcitation.org/5R9ikXAUH.)
FSM’s public face is Carol Taber, the group’s founder, who is also a board member of the rightist Independent Women’s Forum. Her appearance on September 28, 2004, during a special segment of Fox News, just weeks before the 2004 presidential elections, helped draw public attention to her group. …

FSM has been criticized for misleadingly portraying itself as a nonpartisan organization, with the modest goal of providing “Americans like us the tools to become involved citizens and powerful defenders of our homes, our families, and our communities.” …
… In late 2004, Media Matters for America discovered that the phone number listed on FSM’s website actually belonged to the Center for Security Policy (CSP), a hardline foreign policy outfit run by former Reagan administration figure Frank Gaffney. (As of fall 2007, FSM no longer provided a phone number on its website, nor did it provide a street address. Tax statements of its parent organization, available from GuideStar.com, likewise had the address and phone number blacked out.)
After exploring the FSM’s website in 2006, blogger Steve Clemons concluded that Family Security Matters “seems mostly intent on creating the political foundation for a national security state. They want folks who live in Missoula, Montana; Bartlesville, Oklahoma; Salina, Kansas; and Dubuque, Iowa to really worry that terrorists might be there to mess up their lives—any time, any moment” (TPM Café, June 25, 2006). …

FSM’s board of advisers includes James DeGraffenreid, chair of CSP’s board; Paul Vallely, a conservative radio talk show host; Laura Ingraham, a right-wing commentator with a nationally syndicated radio show; Arthur Waldron, a well-known China hawk associated with the so-called Blue Team, an informal group of defense policy strategists who, prior to 9/11, led the effort to make China the top U.S. security concern (see ” The Yellow Peril Revisited,” by Tom Barry and Jim Lobe, IRC, July 1, 2002); and James Woolsey, the former CIA head who has helped organize a lengthy list of hardline foreign policy advocacy outfits, including Americans for Victory over Terrorism, the Coalition for Democracy in Iran, and the Committee for the Liberation of Iraq. Brigitte Gabriel, president of American Congress for Truth, is one of FSM’s contributing editors.
According to the philanthropy research organization GuideStar.org, which tracks charity organizations through their tax statements, Taber is listed as the main contact person for the Family Security Foundation. Based in Washington, DC, the Family Security Foundation says it aims “to educate Americans, men and women, about all issues surrounding national security.” Its official mission is “to fill the education gap.” Its one-line description of its programs reads: “FSM publishes Middle Eastern, terrorism, and defense experts on the subject of national security threats to America.” Among its “goals and results” for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2005, was “publishing 40 contributing editors and publishing original pieces and aggregating national security news for American citizens.” Its objective for fiscal 2006 was “to complete college study.”

She has published articles in The Wall Street Journal, The New York Times, Newsweek, The Guardian, The Washington Times, National Review, Huffington Post, the Eurobserver, The Jerusalem Post, the New York Sun, and the Los Angeles Times, and has testified on terrorism financing before the U.S. Congress, the European Parliament, the French Parliament and the Canadian Parliament. … Her acclaimed book Funding Evil led to her being sued by a Saudi banker who had – according to Madeleine Albright – placed money into the accounts of terrorists associated with the 1998 twin bombings of American Embassies in Kenya and Tanzania. The banker, Khaled bin Mahfouz sued her for libel in Britain, where the book was not on sale, and then tried to make her pay his legal fees in Manhattan. Rachel refused and with her lawyer Daniel Kornstein helped to change New York state law, when the Libel Terrorism Protection Act (pdf) was passed. Similar laws have been passed in other U.S. states, and a federal law known as the SPEECH ACT which is due to be signed, follows the same principle – that First Amendment guarantees should guard authors and publishers against enforcement of frivolous foreign libel judgments from countries that do not have the United States’ strong free speech protections.”
