    ADL Campaign Says 'No' to Nuclear Iran

    New York, NY, September 5, 2007 … Over the next few weeks and months, the Anti-Defamation League (ADL) will roll out a public awareness and advocacy campaign aimed at focusing attention on the gathering threat of a nuclear-armed Iran to Israel, the Middle East and the world.

    The ADL is still speaking out against language they perceive as defamatory. But that's not their primary focus anymore. Criticizing their pro-Iran-war coalition partners, such as Murdoch/Fox, would be counter to the ADL's new primary focus.

    It's perfectly legitimate for an organization to switch its primary focus, but the organization could clarify the new situation by changing its name from ADL to PIWL (Pro-Iran-War League).
