In March 2005 PR Week reported that The <a href="http://www.sourcewatch.org/index.php?title=Lebanese_American_Council_for_Democracy&action=edit&redlink=1" class="new" title="Lebanese American Council for Democracy (page does not exist)" style=" text-decoration: none; color: rgb(165, 88, 88); background-image: none; background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial;">Lebanese American Council for Democracy</a>, the "group that played a key role in the passage of the Syrian Accountability Act," retained 5W Public Relations for "strategic counsel and media relations." The group's goal is "to gain support from U.S. political leaders and<a href="http://www.sourcewatch.org/index.php/United_Nations" title="United Nations" style=" text-decoration: none; color: rgb(11, 0, 128); background-image: none; background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial;">United Nations</a> officials to pressure <a href="http://www.sourcewatch.org/index.php/Syria" title="Syria" style=" text-decoration: none; color: rgb(11, 0, 128); background-image: none; background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial;">Syria</a> to withdraw its troops." The group is reportedly "closely aligned with Michel Aoun, the former Prime Minister who was ousted by the Syrians" in 1990. The 5W firm is "preparing daily briefing sheets for the media to respond to current events." The Syrian Accountability Act, passed in 2003, "imposed sanctions on Syria for occupying Lebanon." <a href="http://www.sourcewatch.org/index.php/5W_Public_Relations#cite_note-4" style=" text-decoration: none; color: rgb(11, 0, 128); background-image: none; white-space: nowrap; background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial;">[5]</a>
