Well, judging from these folks, a think tank is a group of people with an agenda who are trying to find ways to present their agenda such that it will sneak past the general public and achieve greater acceptance.
Honestly, I'd join or create a think tank aligned with my own views, however, unlike some, I'd prefer full disclosure in terms of agenda and funding sources. The ends do not justify the means -- and in general if half the population disagrees with me I should not be attempting to convince everyone that my views are more important.
