SECRET DOWNING STREET MEMO: REMINDING US OF THE MISUSE OF PRE-WAR INTELLIGENCE

Some progressive bloggers are yawning ho-hum about the secret Downing Street memo since after all, anyone with a brain knew what was going on at the time. Perhaps they're correct. However, there are an awful lot of Americans who didn't believe what the opposition was declaring, and this British administration memo is about as clear a snapshot, and HASN'T BEEN DENIED by the British, as you can have of THEIR understanding of the situation. It thus has much more credibility with moderates than any Democratic allegations. I've been outraged by the complicity of the press in keeping this a non-story. Now Walter Pincus puts it in context with what else we've learned/proven since the war began, but how much of America reads Walter Pincus? Where are the networks and cable news?
