8 June 2005 par (Open-Publishing)
The Associated Press appears to have errantly revised a question asked by a Reuters reporter about the Downing Street minutes, RAW STORY has discovered.
The AP transcript says the reporter asked a question which included the phrase, "intelligence and facts remain fixed" around the policy of removing Saddam Hussein, whereas the official White House transcript and account by the Washington Post asserted the reporter said "intelligence and facts were being fixed around the policy of removing (…) -
BUSH REASSURES THE PUBLIC

By Peter Fredson
June 8, 2005
It was reassuring to hear, over the past several days, that George Bush and Tony Blair had only the best of attentions toward Saddam Hussein. They both denied any nasty memo charging them with plotting war against Iraq. They both reassured their publics that they had only peaceful intentions. In fact, both of them used the word “peace” several times. Would they do that to mislead? Are we not reassured by their sincerity?

Downing Street Memo, Say What?
“In exchange for our uniformed young people’s willingness to offer the gift of their lives, civilian Americans owe them something important: It is our duty to ensure that they never are called to make that sacrifice unless it is truly necessary for the security of the country. In the case of Iraq, the American public has failed them; we did not prevent the Bush administration from spending their blood in an unnecessary war based on contrived (…) -

Bring It Down. Now.
8 June 2005 par (Open-Publishing)
24 commentsThe Downing Street Memo is the gift that just keeps on giving. And well it should. It is the smoking gun which proves that the gravest possible crime was committed by the Bush administration, and among its victims were the American people.
I am more hopeful about American politics than I have been in a long time, though still cautious. For nearly five years now, the Bush administration has gotten away with murder - literally and figuratively - with seemingly immutable impunity, always (…) -
Bush lied — people died!

2 commentsBush lied — people died.
There, I’ve said it.
Bush lied — people died.
There, I’ve said it again.
It’s no longer a debatable issue. The ’Downing Street Memo’ proves the "fix" was in. Bush had plans to invade Iraq long before 9-11, all he needed was an excuse. So he ’fixed the facts.’
Yet, in spite of the fact that we now know that there were no weapons of mass destruction, that Saddam and Bin Laden had no real connection, that Saddam never was, and never could be, any real threat (…) -

Both Bush and Blair offer ’proof’ that the memo was wrong because they went to the United Nations afterward.
Blair first....
’The fact that we decided to go to the United Nations and went throught that process which resulted in the resolution to give saddam a final chance to comply, he didn’t do so, and that was the reason we had to take (…) -

1 commentCLINTON-The Iraq War is a mess that’s only getting messier, Sen. Russ Feingold said before and during a listening session Monday.
"The mantra for Fox News is that we only hear the bad news," Feingold, a Democrat, said of the media outlet thought by many observers to be right wing.
"I was over there (in February), and we don’t hear enough bad news," Feingold said before the session.
He traveled with four other senators, including Republican John McCain and Democrat Hillary Rodham (…) -
Sen. Kennedy speaks out on Downing Street Memo, but where is John Kerry?
7 June 2005 par (Open-Publishing)
9 commentsThe following was released by Senator Ted Kennedy (D-MA) on the Downing Street Minutes this morning. Kennedy becomes the first senator to raise the issue in the Senate, after earlier reports that Massachusetts’ junior senator, John Kerry, would speak about the minutes in Washington. #
