‘The Uninvited’ at CPAC
I have been reporting from the Conservative Political Action Conference this week and have an important news flash from its venue at National Harbor outside Washington, D.C.
The late Andrew Breitbart’s enormously important media legacy – the Breitbart News Network – is hosting what may just be the most consequential single event of the entire CPAC meeting. On Saturday, March 16th, a program entitled “The Uninvited” will feature individuals who were not invited to address CPAC, but who will now have an opportunity to discuss the sorts of topics – with the sorts of perspectives – that all of us need to hear.
I am very pleased to be joining such Secure Freedom Radio all-stars as former Attorney General Michael Mukasey, Peter Schweizer, Nina Shea, Dan Goure, Robert Spencer, Rosemary Jenks and Pamela Geller as we speak truth to power. Be sure to join us at CPAC Saturday from 1-3 p.m. or check out the action at Breitbart.com.

In April 1987, Mr. Gaffney was nominated by President Reagan to become the Assistant Secretary of Defense for International Security Policy, the senior position in the Defense Department with responsibility for policies involving U.S.-USSR relations, nuclear forces, arms control, missile defense policy and U.S.-European defense ties. He acted in that capacity for seven months during which time, he was the Chairman of the prestigious High Level Group, NATO’s senior politico-military committee. He also represented the Secretary of Defense in key U.S.-Soviet negotiations and ministerial meetings.
From August 1983 until November 1987, Mr. Gaffney was the Deputy Assistant Secretary of Defense for Nuclear Forces and Arms Control Policy under Assistant Secretary Richard Perle.
From February 1981 to August 1983, Mr. Gaffney was a Professional Staff Member on the Senate Armed Services Committee, chaired by the late Senator John Tower (R-Texas). And, in the latter 1970’s, Mr. Gaffney served as an aide to the late Senator Henry M. “Scoop” Jackson (D-Washington) in the areas of defense and foreign policy.
Mr. Gaffney holds a Master of Arts degree in International Studies from the Johns Hopkins University School of Advanced International Studies and a Bachelor of Science in Foreign Service from the Georgetown University School of Foreign Service.
