The latest neocon to weigh in with preemptive rhetoric about the Iraq Study Group is Frank Gaffney, director of the Center for Security Policy, in today's Washington Times. Gaffney calls the ISG "the Iraq Surrender Group," a name for which he thanks John Wohlstetter, offsping of Albert Wohlstetter, the founder of neocon national security policy. Gaffney calls the ISG "unelected, unaccountable, and substantially unqualified." Its job, he says, is to "secure the political fig leaf needed to obscure our surrender in Iraq." (I'd say Gaffney has just about got it right.)

John Wohlstetter is Albert Wohlstetter's nephew, not his son.
