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.

Cindy says her son was given a death sentence even before he joined the army.
--
so were over 3,000 American citizens on 9/11.
Its too bad a heroic American like her son has a peice of garbage like her for a Mom.
And these are Conyer's witnesses? Self-pitying Anti-American Idiots.
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.
UMMMMM Did anyone Put a gun to his head to join? I think not!
Dont be afraid to slam this lady! That is why they bring them out here so everyone say poor lady. Its sad what happened to her son, but that doesnt give carte blanche to be a lying idiot.
That's the goal of these people. Tragic.
What a disgusting, vile woman.
Agreed
I feel sorry for these people, but for the grace of God go I.....but never, never would I disgrace my hubby or son's service...the chose the military and serve proudly...
I am sitting here with my antacid tablets!
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.
Now she claims "his premeditated death"
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.
Wanna bet they'll rerun it tonight on either -1 or -2?
I have some swear words for Cindy: STFU!
