Another MINUTE from Downing Street

[DulceDecorum]

Sorry if this is a dupe.

They knew it was an illegal war of aggression. Who forced Goldsmith to change his opinion? What happened when Goldsmith was worked over by Gonzales and Ashcroft? One woman refused to take part in the crime. Her name is Elizabeth Wilmshurst.
The passage in Wilmshurst's resignation letter was so damning to the Blair government, that one passage was "scrubbed" out of it. The damning revelation is contained in the resignation letter of Elizabeth Wilmshurst, a legal adviser at the Foreign Office, in which she said the war would be a "crime of aggression". She quit the day after Lord Goldsmith's ruling was made public, three days before the war began in March 2003. The following has that passage put back in, in italics.

Intelligence Officers Challenge Bush
by Veteran Intelligence Professionals for Sanity May 1, 2003
Veteran Intelligence Professionals for Sanity (VIPS) is a coast-to-coast enterprise; mostly intelligence officers from analysis side of CIA. Ray McGovern worked as a CIA analyst for 27 years.

The VIPS memorandum to the President published July 14 is found here: http://www.bnfp.org/neighborhood/VetIntProJuly14.htm

You see, a lot of these intel people are quite independent, and very proud of their work. So when it is suggested that they "cook""fix"or "sex up" intelligence, a lot of them are outraged. They can't be made to play party politics.
Can you please dump some docs here?
