100,000 Signatures Needed on Downing Street Letter
100,000 Signatures Needed on Downing Street Letter - By Congressman John Conyers -dailyKos.com
I have written to you in this space on a number of occasions about my profound concern about the implications of the "Downing Street Memo," which actually consists of the minutes of a July 2002 meeting between British Prime Minister Tony Blair and his top advisers. During this meeting, Blair and his advisers reveal details about conversations with their American counterparts. These details cast substantial doubt on the honesty of contemporaneous claims made by the Administration to Congress and to the American people about the Iraq war.
First, the memo appears to directly contradict the Administration's assertions to Congress and the American people that it would exhaust all options before going to war. According to the minutes, in July 2002, the Administration had already decided to go to war against Iraq.
An article, well worth taking the time to read.
***People may wonder why Cosa hasn't posted anything for some time. He has not had Internet available to him. I did receive an E-mail from him, recently, and he has hopes of being able to access the Internet, perhaps, starting in the month of June. Cosa - We miss you - hope to see you back on track, soon!
