> After the Downing Street Memo: The Case for Impeachment Builds

13 June 2005, 21:06

Here we have one of many posts on this website proffered by conspiracy theorists and Bush bashers that indeed offers food for thought. The writer states "Greenspan knows about the Fed’s cooked books" - this begs the question: How does the writer know this? Where does he/she get this information and where is their proof? Is the writer a personal confidant of Greenspan? I rate this persons credibility a big fat "0".

This same logic should extend to the Downing Street Memo. Everyone on this blog is rabid to believe in a memo based on the credibility of: "well, no one is denying it’s authenticity so it’s authentic" - WEAK! It seems in the rush to condemn the war and/or Bush it is o.k. to grasp at any straws regardless of their truth. A key question on the memo: Has the author, or even anyone associated with the meeting validated or confirmed it or it’s contents?

The entire premise of the letters/posts on this site remind me of an 1800’s lynch mob ready to believe anything that will result in a hanging. Everyone is agast at the mainstream media because they are not talking this memo up. The reason they aren’t is because THERE IS NO CONFORMATION and THERE IS NO ACKNOWLEDGING SOURCE. Haven’t you learned from RatherGate - actually there are those who still believe those memos were valid. Ironically this group is typically anti-war and they are complaining about Bush supposedly avoiding support for a war - the hallmark of their concerns.
