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

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.

Gads, I would be. They should be lucky anyone even took their call.

They finally got listed on CSpan's list of political websites. It used to drive them crazy because we were listed and they weren't, and they would talk about how much more important they were than FR blah blah blah. I would just chuckle.

I can't wait for nothing to happen with this, just like every other time they've brought something up to impeach President Bush with. Their exploding heads will be funny for the umpteenth time.

Wilson:

We were told there would be 30,000 troops left a year out: Not true.

We were told we have to stay because of secterian violence. That’s all there is now.

I feel bad for this mother, but why is she aligning herself with people who did nothing but aid the enemy who killed her son?

Cindy Sheehan, disgraces her son's honorable service. Gold Star Families for Peace, of which she is president, is an off-shoot of Military Families Speak Out.

I had to turn it down when Joe Wilson was patting himself on the back, while he was lying out his butt!!!

Doesn't he know that the 9/11 Commission and the Senate Intelligence Committee discredited him and his loopy lies?

So why did she let him join? What is with these people? he was not drafted! I don't understand it! I am not sure I am going to be able to watch this. I don't want to slam this lady but she is delusional.
