The proof is in the memo. It's impossible to argue around it.
This is quite clearly the single most important issue facing the American people this year: What are they going to do about the Downing Street Memo? It's very existence demands a show of outrage on the part of righteous american citizens who fully understand what the memo implies. It has just been proved beyond reasonable doubt that the so-called leader ('so-called' for let's face it, my money is on Karl calling more of the shots in the WH than Dubya) that the so-called leader of America is guilty of the crime of lying to his country in order to start a war. That is a fact. It is no longer a subjective viewpoint that can be argued away by some hopelessly short-sighted and defective pro-bush logic. It's basically a fact that you can't argue around anymore. Unless you're a philosopher, but we won't go there right now.
And what no doubt a vast majority of the media gazing public in the USA do not realise is that Tony Blair's government in the UK, by acknowledging the authenticity and credibility of the memo, has implicitly confirmed the conclusion that Bush lied to the American people and the US congress.
Hello?? Anybody there?? Does anyone over there realise what that means??? The president has committed a crime literally of historic proportions and nobody in the US media seems rather fussed about it. Of course, I'm not saying we're at all surprised that the media decided to ignore this. That was to be expected all along. After all, what good is the press if they can't be relied on to protect the prez in his moments of peril. In fact, I've found the story of specifically how the US media has danced around this unbelievable scandal to have been just as fascinating as the contents of the memo itself. No really, I mean that.
It's a tragic irony that precisely in this internet era of instant access to staggering amounts of information about world news, events and history, the traditional media can still succeed in hiding this scandal from the american people.
It's quite astonishing when you read about how the major papers have feverishly managed to bury the story every time on a page far removed from the first one where a much smaller percentage of the readers will eventually get to it. And even then, you normally have to read far into the article in order to learn what the issue is about in the first place.
Weird is not the word I'm looking for. Mind-boggling gets closer.
"This, my fellow Americans, is the hottest news out there in the big, old rest of the world. The story, which has been reported prominently in The Times of London since May 1, has gotten more hits on the Internet than any other in the newspaper's history."
