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.

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

Yep

[areafiftyone]

DUmmies are crying over this on their website. FAKE Tears when in other threads they tear our soldiers apart and say they are murderers!

[Mo1]

now showing a clip of Powell saying Sadam was not a threat

[Howlin]

That's the goal of these people.

Imagine being part of a party or movement that HOPES for death so they can regain power.

[badgerbengal]

Do you notice that we never hear from the parents of heroic soldiers who gave thier life for this nation who actually agree with the war. I'm sure many of the families realize what is a stake in the middle east.

[Txsleuth]

I posted last night, that my son would KILL me, if I acted like this mother is...

[ken5050]

great job troops..BTW..anyone know where's Mr. Wilson?

[cyncooper]

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

“I traveled to Niger and satisfied myself…

Right, that's why his "findings" (ahem) were never briefed to the Vice President.

Or anyone else at the WH, for that matter.

[CFC__VRWC]

I can't see it, but I'm wondering if it won't lead on ABC-CBS-NBC-CNN.

[ken5050]

My bad..I meant Mr. Sheehan..sorry..

[eyespysomething]

“Please hold someone accountable.”

Um lady, FYI - it's not Bush

[possumdawg]

I truly feel sorry for her son. I can only hope she cannot reproduce again. She gives trailer trash a bad name.

[Txsleuth]

Exactly---and if you read her letter to President Bush, you can see right away, that she was a Bush hater, BEFORE her son even died...

She is just using her son for political gain...

[ken5050]

Wanna bet Chrissie Matthews has her on tonight..

[ken5050]

Wanna bet Chrissie Matthews has her on tonight..

[defconw]

I am getting a headache!

[areafiftyone]

Wanna bet she runs for Congress?

[Amityschild]

I believe that noise is a FAX machine...don't you think?

[eyespysomething]

He just wanted to satisfy hisself, lol.

[ken5050]
