BUSH ASKED TO EXPLAIN UK WAR MEMO
WASHINGTON (CNN) -- Eighty-nine Democratic members of the U.S. Congress last week sent President George W. Bush a letter asking for explanation of a secret British memo that said "intelligence and facts were being fixed" to support the Iraq war in mid-2002.

The timing of the memo was well before the president brought the issue to Congress for approval.

Please go to the bottom of the CNN's article and email it to every news outlet you know!

6. kick

[Poiuyt]

7. I think the best approach is to act dumb

Write to the media and say you've heard about the memo and was ondering what it was all about and what its implications are. That way you don't sound too partisan.

[eek]

39. good strategy

i have taken to using that approach when talking to The Citizenry.
putting myself in someone else's shoes, i realised that i'd shut out someone who approached me with stridency outrage and didacticism.

the golly dija hear about... catches more flies and, as we know all too well, halfbaked information and rumour sell wonderfully these daze.

27. Thank you!

I know why the MSM is largely ignoring this story (thanks, CNN, but weren't you the ones with the poll question "2 years later, is it time to stop protesting the Iraq war?"), but why is this not a bigger deal here at DU or at other progressive sites? Is it, and I'm just not reading in the right places?
