American-Turkish Council
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
According to its 2005 annual report, current American-Turkish Council (ATC) board members include:
- Brent Scowcroft, the board chairman and former national security adviser for George H. W. Bush
- George Perlman of Lockheed Martin
- Elizabeth Avery of Pepsico
- Ozer Baysal of Pfizer
- Andy Button of Boeing
- Richard K. Douglas of General Electric
- Sherry Grandjean of Sikorsky Aircraft Corporation
- John R. Miller of Raytheon
- Selig A. Taubenblatt of Bechtel
ATC's advisory board also includes representatives of a number of high-powered defense, pharmaceutical, consulting, and technology firms, including General Atomics, BAE Systems, Motorola, and the Cohen Group. Daniel Pipes is a former ATC board member.
Growing media scrutiny of the ATC is a result of allegations made by FBI whistleblower Sibel Edmonds regarding suspect activities of council members in an article in the September 2005 Vanity Fair.
The ATC is where former Ambassador Joseph Wilson met his future wife and CIA operative, Valerie Plame, leading some to speculate Plame's CIA front company, Brewster-Jennings & Associates, was monitoring the same alleged nuclear trafficking of the ATC as Sibel Edmonds.
