The Associated Press appears to have errantly revised a question asked by a Reuters reporter about the Downing Street minutes, RAW STORY has discovered.
The AP transcript says the reporter asked a question which included the phrase, "intelligence and facts remain fixed" around the policy of removing Saddam Hussein, whereas the official White House transcript and account by the Washington Post asserted the reporter said "intelligence and facts were being fixed around the policy of removing (…)

BUSH REASSURES THE PUBLIC
By Peter Fredson
June 8, 2005
It was reassuring to hear, over the past several days, that George Bush and Tony Blair had only the best of attentions toward Saddam Hussein. They both denied any nasty memo charging them with plotting war against Iraq. They both reassured their publics that they had only peaceful intentions. In fact, both of them used the word “peace” several times. Would they do that to mislead? Are we not reassured by their sincerity?
We (…)

Downing Street Memo, Say What?
“In exchange for our uniformed young people’s willingness to offer the gift of their lives, civilian Americans owe them something important: It is our duty to ensure that they never are called to make that sacrifice unless it is truly necessary for the security of the country. In the case of Iraq, the American public has failed them; we did not prevent the Bush administration from spending their blood in an unnecessary war based on contrived (…)

STATEMENT BY CONSTITUTIONAL ATTORNEY JOHN BONIFAZ ON BEHALF OF AFTERDOWNINGSTREET.ORG ON TODAY’S JOINT PRESS CONFERENCE WITH PRESIDENT BUSH AND BRITISH PRIME MINISTER BLAIR
President George W. Bush and Prime Minister Tony Blair continued today to try to hide from the explosive revelations in the Downing Street Minutes.
Neither President Bush nor Prime Minister Blair denied today that (…)

The Downing Street Memo is the gift that just keeps on giving. And well it should. It is the smoking gun which proves that the gravest possible crime was committed by the Bush administration, and among its victims were the American people.
I am more hopeful about American politics than I have been in a long time, though still cautious. For nearly five years now, the Bush administration has gotten away with murder - literally and figuratively - with seemingly immutable impunity, always (…)

Bush lied — people died.
There, I’ve said it.
Bush lied — people died.
There, I’ve said it again.
It’s no longer a debatable issue. The ’Downing Street Memo’ proves the "fix" was in. Bush had plans to invade Iraq long before 9-11, all he needed was an excuse. So he ’fixed the facts.’
Yet, in spite of the fact that we now know that there were no weapons of mass destruction, that Saddam and Bin Laden had no real connection, that Saddam never was, and never could be, any real threat (…)

Donald H. Dumbfuck Eddie Tews June 04, 2005 A while back, Donald H. Rumsfeld said that he couldn’t "imagine why Venezuela needs 100,000 AK-47s". He may or may not have figured that one out yet, but there’s a new problem for him to puzzle over:
Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld said today that the rapid development of China’s missile capabilities, air force, and navy put Asia’s military balance at risk, and that the Pentagon believes Beijing’s buildup has been far more extensive than its (…)

Where’s Osama? Bush Doesn’t Care. Do We? Ted Rall May 31, 2005 NEW YORK - It has been one thousand three hundred fifty-two days since George W. Bush promised to find Osama bin Laden, "dead or alive." So where is he? "Not around Afghanistan," U.S.-installed president Hamid Karzai said on May 25. "We’ll catch him if he ever comes in here." If not Afghanistan, where? "Well, that we don’t know." Pakistani foreign minister Kursheed Kasuri says: "[He] is alive and moving around from place to (…)

Economics is the science of abstrct numbers used against those that do not understand it to exploit the earth and human labor by enabling a system of exchange to dominate human culture.
Economics is equal to selling a piece of bread to your own child. But that is what they want us to believe will help us develop. That is why their is NOT economic bill of rights. That would be WRONG for PROFIT and CONTROL of the money changers. But what are the great controllers of money and banks going to (…)

Somehow, a real reporter slipped by Whitehouse security and asked Bush and Blair about the Downing Street Memo.

Both Bush and Blair offer ’proof’ that the memo was wrong because they went to the United Nations afterward.
Blair first....
’The fact that we decided to go to the United Nations and went throught that process which resulted in the resolution to give saddam a final chance to comply, he didn’t do so, and that was the reason we had to take (…)
