I wanted to bump this back to the forefront of discussion, mainly because I am amazed that it actually happened.

Here is a link to the actual memo:

I am not sure how this is still being swept under the rug of the media?

Politics, to me, is dead. When I was a child I loved the idea of the American government, now I am just a disillusioned adult who feels that there is no truth in any political system.

I personally was taken in by the lies before the war, and I am ashamed of it. Once it was proven that the justification for war that was sold to the UK and US public was a lie, I lost all respect for Bush. I retained some shred of respect for Blair, as I felt that his case for war was slightly different and he did not directly deceive the world...Today is a sad day for me, becuase I now have lost my respect for Blair as well.

What a bunch of lying, conniving bastards.

Why is the American public so apathetic? Do they feel that they cannot change anything or do they truly believe everything that the US government says??
