But part of the discussion should be about the validity of the claims. It seems many people here don't want that, they just want to discuss the various ways that people in the Bush administration are war criminals. They don't even accept the possiblility that they aren't war criminals...............
.........And personally, it disgusts me that people give credence to an article like the one in the OP, yet ignore when people are killed. What they are essentially doing is making it a two-front war: you have the terrorists in the field and the terrorist enablers at home. Al Queda couldn't pay for press like this.

alansmithee, are you accusing me, because of the content of my posts, of aiding and abetting an enemy of the United States, i.e., committing treason by questioning the acts of members of the federal executive branch who conduct themselves in an unprecedentedly secretive manner, as if they are unaccountable to the elected representatives of the people, and above the law? The president's press secretary said this:

Eighty-nine House Democrats wrote to the White House to ask whether the memorandum, first disclosed by The Sunday Times on May 1, accurately reported the administration's thinking at the time, eight months before the American-led invasion. The letter, drafted by Rep. John Conyers Jr. of Michigan, the top Democrat on the House Judiciary Committee, said the British memorandum of July 23, 2002, if accurate, "raises troubling new questions regarding the legal justifications for the war as well as the integrity of your own administration."................
..............White House spokesman Scott McClellan told reporters on Tuesday that the White House saw "no need" to respond to the Democratic letter. Current and former Bush administration officials have sought to minimize the significance of the memorandum, saying it is based on circumstantial observations.
