Bill Gertz reports in today’s Washington Times that the CIA’s Counterterrorist Center has spent more than $15 million in the past three years “funding studies, reports and conferences produced by former Democratic administration officials and other critics of the Bush administration,” for example, a $300,000 grant by the CIA to the Atlantic Council for a study co-authored by Richard Clarke.

Gertz concludes: “An investigation by The Washington Times of the CIA’s funding of think tanks shows that the CTC’s academic outreach program has not funded any studies or conferences at conservative organizations.”
