R. James Woolsey

OVERVIEW

R. James Woolsey is the former Director of the Central Intelligence Agency (1993-1995) who served on CSP's board and advisory capacity. His involvement lent establishment credibility to an organization that the SPLC designates as an anti-Muslim hate group.

CSP INVOLVEMENT

• Served on CSP's board of directors/advisory council
• Participated in CSP events and publications
• Co-authored elements of CSP's "Team B II" report on sharia

SIGNIFICANCE

Woolsey's CIA credentials gave CSP's claims about Muslim Brotherhood infiltration an undeserved veneer of intelligence community authority. His participation in CSP's "Shariah: The Threat to America" report helped mainstream conspiracy theories about Islamic subversion within national security circles.
