Apparently this story first started circulating a little more than a week ago, but the American media has been completely silent. It also seems like 88 congressmen have been circulating a letter asking Bush to respond to memo, but the administration has failed to say a word.
Why isn't this a bigger story here?

The Chicago Tribune has been the only American source I've been able to find that has even mentioned the story...

A Michigan congressman is seeking more information from President Bush about a classified British memo, leaked during Britain's recent election campaign, that claims the president decided by summer 2002 to overthrow Iraqi President Saddam Hussein and was determined to ensure that U.S. intelligence data supported his policy.
