Israeli Intelligence Heritage and Commemoration Center
Center for Special Studies, founded in 2001, is an Israeli think tank headed by Reuven Erlich, a retired colonel in US military intelligence. The think tank is reported to have "close ties with the country's military leadership and maintains an office at the Defense Ministry".[1] As of 2007 the centre appears to have been renamed as the Israel Intelligence Heritage & Commemoration Center.
On December 5, 2006, a 300-page report produced by its Intelligence and Terrorism Information Center was passed to the US media through the American Jewish Congress. The study was undertaken to rebuff war crimes allegations over Israel's bombing and destruction of residential areas in Lebanon. The report was compiled 'in conjunction with lawyers from the army and Foreign Ministry'.[2]
