Thanks, but I did read that bit from his paper (at the end of it). What troubles me is that it seems that the CFR is referred to a lot by some alternative news outlets (in not so glowing terms). Also it seems to try hard to portray itself to be a non-partisan think tank. I will look at the references you gave me, much appreciated ...
