Reply #13: Here is my letter...

Dear Senator Wyden,

I read in this morning’s Washington Post that John Kerry is circulating a letter about the Downing Street Memo for the Democratic Senators to sign. Senator Wyden, I urge you to sign this letter to press this issue into further investigation. As the article states:

http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2005/06/14/AR2005061400563.html

“There is much to fault in both the right's and the left's interpretation of the memo. First, the memo is not the smoking gun that some liberal politicos and bloggers see. No matter what Richard Dearlove said in the memo about fixing the facts, it was still merely one man's analysis of the situation. At the same time, Dearlove is a credible source who was, essentially, the British equivalent of former CIA director George Tenet. It doesn't have to be a smoking gun for it to be an important document. The document should not be ignored simply because it does not answer every question. The Downing Street Memo is a starting place, not an ending place.”

We need to find out the facts of this memo and what it implies. If this Administration is lying about its intent on the run up to this war, the American people need to know. If they knew that Iraq had no weapons capabilities, and then cherry picked intelligence to support their WMD claim, then the House and Senate need to know that they committed out troops to a war that is based on a lie. Yes, it has been proven that there were no WMDs, but if there is proof that the Bush Administration knew of this PRIOR to their meeting with the UN, it is an impeachable offense.

Thank you,
