1. Let's see how much media attention this story gets?

Let's hope that since it's UK based it will hard for American corporate media to squelch.

3. Apparently they were going to ignore Blair without the AG advice

4. The third "I" joining the trilogy

1) Incompetent
Poor interpretation of Intelligence. No International Coalition. No Exit Plan.

2) Ill Advised
Ignored the many credible domestic and international voices cautioning against the rush to war

3) Illegal
This Invasion and occupation violated International Law.

The Illegal aspects need to be re-defined into easy sound bites, and sent to the Media, Reps, local letters to the editor, and re-repeated at the grass roots.

5. It makes you wonder

just how much more it will take to bring Blair down.

6. Of course...

the only ones who didn't want to believe that were those who listen to Faux. After all, the US media must comply with orders from headquarters or else! Gee, remember all those reporters who got axed soon after the selection?!
