Downing Street Minutes and Pre-War Intelligence
U.S. House of Representatives, Conyers, J. (D-MI)
Washington, District of Columbia (United States)
ID: 187209 - 06/16/2005 - 2:00 - ns

Conyers, John Jr., U.S. Representative, D-MI
Bonifaz, John C., Founder, National Voting Rights Institute
Wilson, Joseph, Deputy Chief of Mission (1988-91), Iraq
McGovern, Ray, Member, Veteran Intelligence Professionals for Sanity
Sheehan, Cindy, Mother

Rep. John Conyers, Jr., and other Democrats hold a public meeting concerning the "Downing Street Memo" and pre-war intelligence on Iraq.
On May 1, 2005 a Sunday London Times article disclosed the details of a classified memo, also known as the "Downing Street Minutes", recounting the minutes of a July 2002 meeting of Prime Minister Tony Blair with his advisers that depicted an American president already committed to going to war in the summer of 2002, despite contrary assertions to the public and the Congress. The minutes also described apparent efforts by Bush administration officials to manipulate intelligence data in order to justify the war to the international community.

The hearing is scheduled to be rerun on C-SPAN 2 at 8 p.m. EDT.

Why is C-Span covering a private Hate Bush meeting?

Because they always do.

They even cover protestors organizational meetings.

They even had Conyers on this AM for 45 minutes so his seminar callers could call in and gush thanks for his efforts.

This is the guy that wants reparations paid and Bush impeached.

I wish cable news would cover this. Americans need to see what the Democrat Party really is: a bunch of loony moonbats.

LOL CSPAN must be sick and tired of them. For days they have been calling CSPAN trying to get them to cover it. CSPAN made them wait until last night before they even agreed. CSPAN got so sick and tired of them. Drove them crazy.

Live blog from the Pitts (dummie pundit):

http://blog.pdamerica.org/

Wilson: “I went to Niger..
June 16th, 2005

…because the concerns of the Vice President needed to be investigated.”

“I traveled to Niger and satisfied myself…that it was highly unlikely such a transaction took place.” Describing two contemporaneous Niger investigations that likewise reported the report was bunk. Then he heard Bush make the uranium claim and was “mildly curious,” because he didn’t realize Bush was talking about Niger.

Questions about the claims began gathering steam. March 2003 had the director of the IAEA stating that the documents ‘proving’ the uranium-Iraq exchange were crude forgeries.

More…
