I had some errands to run. Poste haste.

I do not believe that this will directly affect US markets for these reasons:

This is Friday before Labor Day. This is not the sort of thing to be weighed heavily among the junior traders who are stuck working a holiday weekend.

It is, simply, Friday. Psychologically speaking, the markets trend upward on Friday. If there is a dive, then this is probably due to something else - such as what the Green Man has to say.

To my inference, there is no solid, irrefutable evidence that supports the notion that Bush and Blair colluded on falsifying evidence. According to Blair's testimony, they merely collaborated on the strategy by which they would array the evidence at hand.

I would watch the British markets to see what kind of a ripple this creates. I have found that these things take awhile before they arrive on our shores.
