Two interesting comments from a US story on "the memo"
http://www.nynewsday.com/news/nationworld/nation/ny-uswmd074251820may09,0,7809270.story?coll=ny-nationalnews-headlines

<snip>

The newly disclosed memo, which was first reported by the Sunday Times of London, hasn't been disavowed by the British government. The British Embassy in Washington did not respond to requests for comment.

A former senior U.S. official called it "an absolutely accurate description of what transpired" during the senior British intelligence officer's visit to Washington. He spoke on condition of anonymity.

A White House official said the administration wouldn't comment on leaked British documents.

1. Finally the water is starting to come up to a boil
I guess they just wanted to be polite and to wait for after the election. Now Tony can resign soon and face charges for war crimes with George Bush.

6. Yeah...they floated the idea in their focus groups, I think
(or was it the State of the Union address?) and dismissed it after a year or so because it was British or something. :eyes:

7. you would think a few curious jounalist broadcasters would jump the fact
that the WH will not comment--like at one of
scotties press conferences!!

...A White House official said the administration wouldn't comment on leaked British documents.

10. its editors and owners that are mostly the problem...
there are many frustrated reporters... when the floodgates open, there will be plenty of reporters stepping up! With need to help them.. demand truth from existing news and support alterative news.. like the new rawradio and the brad show...
