11. Carnegie Endowment for International Peace
They have an excellent section taking apart all the claims on Iraq. They've also called the neocons on the BS.

18. Another goodie - CBPP
Center on Buget and Policy Priorities: http://www.cbpp.org/

Somewhat more focused than American Progress Center, but SCADS of info on domestic budget spending and taxes for deflating RW talking points.
