Institute for the Study of War, Defense Contractor Funding
Despite claims of independence, the Institute for the Study of War is funded by major defense contractors including General Dynamics, DynCorp, and CACI. CACI, notably involved in the Abu Ghraib prison scandal, stands to benefit from the "advisors" Kim Kagan is pitching to be sent back into Iraq. The Institute's 990 forms show significant spending on travel and conferences while maintaining close ties to the military-industrial complex.
