"Bush/Blair" memo article in today's Newsday.
Headline: Memo: Bush Manipulated Iraq Intel

(It's the Knight-Ridder piece if you can't get the link)

VERY glad to see it in big daily.. NOW we have to get it brought up in relation to the Bolton vote!

1. Excellent! It was in the Charlotte Observer Friday but has been MIA since
There hasn't been any further information about it in my local paper. It's like it fell off of the map entirely.

2. Found an article in the Miami Herald also
Even after 4+ years on the other side of the rabbit hole, the way major news is handled in this country is bizzare to me.

If someone had told me that Bush strolling through the bluebonnets hand in hand with a Saudi prince, and that a memo documenting the calculated lies that led us to Iraq, would be yawned off, I wouldn't have believed it.

The Miami Herald article is very matter of fact:

President Bush decided to overthrow Iraqi President Saddam Hussein by summer 2002 and was determined to ensure that U.S. intelligence data supported his policy.

7. I think that I'm going to be sick
I'm living in Orwell's 1984, aren't I?

3. More then get the feelings being manipulated by media
But that's what Hitler did when he ordered all the books burned ala "Fahrenheit 4.51"

Rove orders all US. media to report nothing truthful-damageing about Bushco and if a leak manages to get out?...Simple, lie and deny, call/label them conspiricy nuts via Limbaugh/Hannity.

Was America generally always this way??

4. In the LA Times, it was just referenced in a letter to the editor...
a step down from the usual hiding inside
a columnist's essay....
and they wonder why their circulation numbers
are going down...

5. Nothing in the Hartford Courant yet
I wrote them last week about it, and they are normally good at at least sending a form letter back.... nothing yet, however.

maybe their Republican masters have them muzzled?

6. Does anybody have a list of the 88 Congressional Reps?
There was supposedly 88 Washington Congressional Reps asking for answers from Bush. Does anybody have a link to the list of who is who? If my guy isn't on the list, I'd like to ask him why.

Thanks
