Conyers now calling them the Downing Street MINUTES!

Excellent! We're winning the rhetoric battle.

I think they just changed the website to call them "minutes," I'm pretty sure I remember it being referred to as "memo" before. Pardon me if it's always been like this and I just now noticed. :p

Oh, and go sign if you haven't, of course.
YOU ONLY NEED TO GIVE A NAME. NO OTHER FIELDS ARE REQUIRED.

2. this is a beautiful thing...

it is funny how this whole blog actually had something to talk about this week due to one man and his SPINE!

Funny how we can put pressure on the PUGS when we actually grow a pair instead of always waiting for them to make the first move..

Let the battle begin!

4. Why is it called minutes instead of memo?

Could someone bring me up to speed on the naming?

5. Quoting from his web site, explaining it.

"As many of you are aware, a classified memo was recently disclosed in Great Britain that I believe has serious ramifications for the integrity of the United States Government. Dubbed the "Downing Street Memo," but actually comprising the minutes of a meeting of Prime Minister Tony Blair and other top British government officials, the memo casts serious doubt on many of the contentions of the Bush Administration in the lead up to the Iraq war. With over 1,600 U.S. servicemen and servicewomen killed in Iraq, the deaths of hundreds of thousands of Iraqis, and over $200 billion in taxpayer funds going to this war effort, we cannot afford to stand by any longer."

7. The fact that it actually is "mtg minutes" vs being an actual memo is very

damning too for this administration...why? Because legally speaking, minutes from a meeting(s) is more damning as evidence than any memo...

I've been wondering when it would start being properly referred to....
