How can I seriously suggest something I never even remotely suggested?
I suggest you take you self-described open (actually empty) mind and not use it to make outlandish leaps like you evidently expect the rest of us, including Blair, to make.
Rational people don't make unwarranted and baseless assumptions.
You attach far too much significance to this nothing memo if you think Blair would have obsessively ordered a search into its authenticity. It's really nothing and since you appear slow I'll spell it out: I have not said I think the memo is fake. I'm interested in the story that it might be but I've said even if real it was always a big "so what". I'm guessing that's what Blair thought, too; "So what".
"You attach far too much significance to this nothing memo if you think Blair would have obsessively ordered a search into its authenticity"
Obsessively ordered a search? It has the name of the person who sent it and who they sent it to on it! It would hardly take that much checking.
Here's where the Lefties are freaking out.
They are desperately scared the memos story will be about the authenticity and not the subject.
Therefore, they are desperately trying to show they HAD to be real at some point because somebody in government may have answered a question that may have addressed the content at some time in or around a month ago or a year after 9/11.
Make no mistake. More and more memos were planned to be released and were planned to address questions after the first two were released.
I will bet anybody dollars to donuts the next six memos will have actual quotes by someone in the Bush Administration.
And I also will bet dollars to donuts the whole scam is a fraud, and Lefties are now left with egg on their face because nobody but nobody can produce actual evidence to prove Bush committed crimes and should be impeached.
However, I want to know what Homeland Security is doing about this? At what point will terrorist attacks (and make no mistake - removing the power structure of a free country through any means necessary is a terrorist attack) by our elected officials warrant time in Gitmo?
