I don't know about FDD in particular. They certainly have their own agenda. Wikipedia suggests neoconservative thought and proponents of hawkish US foreign policy [1]. So it's not surprising them supporting the publication. FDD ma

The Hippocratic Oath is not for assigning blame or providing accountability towards society's rules - at least not in the first place. It is a reminder of basic ethical and professional standards and contributes to the common understan
