OK, progress.
We agree that forming PNAC, getting "their people" into government correctly (election, approval by Senate, appointement, etc.) and pursuing their policy goals is legal.
In fact, not only is it legal, it is they way this government is Constitutionally designed to work instead of overthrowing governments like they do in the banana republics.
So PNAC is not, in and of itself, an evil, sinister thing. In fact, it's how groups are supposed to accomplish their goals and desired changes. Much as "Democrats" or "Republicans" band together, determine "party platforms", run for office/appointments, and attempt to achieve their policy goals through legislation, etc., etc. .
Now, you say "the policies were illegal".
I admit to not following you here.
From the PNAC "Statement of Principles:
Our aim is to remind Americans of these lessons and to draw their consequences for today. Here are four consequences:
• we need to increase defense spending significantly if we are to carry out our global
responsibilities today and modernize our armed forces for the future;
• we need to strengthen our ties to democratic allies and to challenge regimes hostile to our interests and values;
• we need to promote the cause of political and economic freedom abroad;
• we need to accept responsibility for America's unique role in preserving and extending an international order friendly to our security, our prosperity, and our principles.
Which policy (-cies) were illegal?
