"Your post is a crock of pig dung"
Why thank you. I thought it was quite coherently argued. What would be your explanation for a government allowing slanderous and potentially damaging false allegations to appear in the press unchecked, if that in fact is the case as you say?
"The fact is Michael Smith is a far leftwing journalist for a communist leaning newspaper"
Err, is the The Times or The Telegraph that you're referring to now?
"In addition to that it is the accuser my friend who BY LAW should be supplying the proof"
Which law? But, anyway, you seem to be agreeing with my opinion here. If he has in fact invented these new documents, no doubt he will be sued by the British government.
We know that the original Downing Street Memo was authentic, so clearly the potential for things being leaked is there. If the British government come out and say that these new documents are false, then that would be a different matter. But if even the government don't say that the reporting is false, I see no reason to suspect that it is.
You can't show one bit of legitimate evidence other than Anonymous sources and a leftwing journalists "trust me on this" which will prove they are real. There exists no proof that any of this crap is "authentic" you can't show it because it doesn't exist.
I stand by my original post. Yes The Sunday Times is the paper I'm talking about, it is the spiritually and idealogical twin to The New York Times. It is even farther left on the political spectrum, The reporter in question has been a anti-war, anti- Blair and anti-Bush idealogue from the beginning.
Do I believe he would fabricate fake documents to smear anyone who doesn't agree with his leftwing drivel? Yes as a matter of fact I do all comrades from the Soviet school of journalism are trained in those tactics.
You can't show a original document, you can't show a single person from any goverment which will go on the record and say that these memos are 100% acurate and authentic, Just as I said Tony Blair did deny and condemn them as has President Bush, Condeleeza Rice and Donald Rumsfeld.
As to which law states the proof is on the accuser try the Law of the Land, "The Constitution of the United States of America".
