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.

Now reading a letter from a mother whose son hung himself after returning from Iraq. I feel sorry for these parents, but what they are doing right now is giving encouragement to those who want to kill more American soldiers--and not just in Iraq.

That's the goal of these people. Tragic.

She asks how many more families will be visited by "a Grim Reaper dressed in a military uniform."

What a disgusting, vile woman.

I am sorry for her loss but NOONE forced her son to sign the papers to join. He knew the consequences when he joined up.

It is simply dreadful to lose a child for any reason, but these people seem, at least to me, to not be able to accept a decision THEIR child made and are looking for somebody, preferrably Bush, to blame.

IMO -- and ONLY my opinion -- as long as they hold on to this fury, they are doing a disservice to the honor their children paid this country.

They are dishonoring their children's lives. MOO.

Cindy Sheehan pats herself on the back for making it through her testimony without swearing a blue streak, which is her nature. Incredible.

She wants somebody held accountable for her son's death. I'm betting it is NOT Saddam Hussein or AQ.

This is pitiful. I am sorry for her loss. But this is ridiculous. Now especially this P.S. about her holding back the swear words. Unbelievable.
