Bruce Pitcairn Jackson is a US spook. His later career has focused on accelerating the integration of the Western Balkan countries and Turkey into the European Union and NATO and on building closer relationship between European institutions and Ukraine and Georgia.[1]
In 2002, he headed the neoconservative organization Committee for the Liberation of Iraq, where he organized the so-called "Vilnius 10", in which the leaders of 10 Eastern European countries expressed support for US plans to invade Iraq. During the Georgian presidential election, he was a "member" of Mikhail Saakashvili's election headquarters. He was also an "adviser" to Ukrainian president Viktor Yushchenko.[2]
Activities
President of the Project on Transitional Democracies. He is also a member of the Council on Foreign Relations and the International Institute for Strategic Studies. He is on the Board of Advisors of the Center for Security Policy. He is the President of the U.S. Committee on NATO.

According to John B. Judis, Jackson was tapped by the Bush administration to run the Committee for the Liberation of Iraq on the basis of his experience promoting NATO enlargement:
- This year Jackson was able to parlay his NATO connections into support for the administration's war plans for Iraq. As the Bush administration was desperately searching for allies, Jackson helped draw up a declaration from the foreign ministers of the "Vilnius Ten," the 10 Eastern European countries that are up for NATO membership. "The newest members of the European community agree that we must confront the tyranny of Saddam Hussein and that the United Nation must now act," the foreign ministers declared on the same day that Secretary of State Colin Powell addressed the United Nations. The declaration provided ammunition for the administration, but it also created a furor in Western Europe and even in some of the Vilnius Ten countries, where the public, and even the governments, did not want to be identified as part of what one Slovenian writer termed the "war coalition."[4]
