DU this Yahoo article on the today's hearings!!!!
House Democrat's forum to examine Downing Street memo By Ruby L. Bailey, Knight Ridder Newspapers
Wed Jun 15, 5:35 PM ET

WASHINGTON - The secret British memo of 2002 that reported that President Bush was determined to go to war against Iraq months earlier than he publicly acknowledged will get its first official hearing on Thursday - sort of.


In the closest version so far to a congressional hearing on the Downing Street memo, Rep. John Conyers (news, bio, voting record), D-Mich., will head a forum examining the document. That will be followed by an Internet-organized rally in front of the White House. Conyers plans to deliver the signatures of 105 congressional Democrats and more than 500,000 citizens on petitions demanding a detailed response from the Bush administration to the memo's allegations.

continued at top link.

So far at highly recommended

7. this is a great article - it evens hits on the Plame leak:
<snip>
"Joe Wilson, former U.S ambassador to Africa and a critic of the Iraq war. After his opposition to the war became public, his wife, Valerie Plame, was identified as a CIA officer in a controversial leak to news organizations."

13. Oh yeah! Some idiot on Washington Journal this morning said Wilson
"has been discredited" and why was Conyers having him at the forum.

10. Done!
Please read " I did this"
http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=show_mesg&forum=104&topic_id=3870356&mesg_id=3870630

The reason I know I did this is because todays Mercury News even printed the bulk of the article on page 13. They have a sense of humor.

22. The counter has gone up
It was 243 responses when I first tried voting, and it was 248 a minute ago. I have a feeling it is counting the votes but not letting us know our votes have been counted.

21. New Repugnican mantra
The document provides no new information, said Andrew Bennett, a political science professor at Georgetown University.

"The memo didn't reveal anything that wasn't obvious to us who've been reading the newspapers," Bennett said. "It's coming out now in generally declining public confidence in the war, so it's gaining a little bit of traction. It's reminding people of the worries a lot of people have had all along about Iraq."


I'm so fucking sick of this one. No, asshat, everyone didn't "know" all this before. Besides, this isn't someone's memory or theory, it's a fucking document corroborating what we've believed for years.

:mad:

29. It's also being replayed on C-Span 2 Friday at 8:00pm, I think.
Please check the time to be sure, but this is good for people who don't have C-Span 3.
