1. Watergate took awhile to take off in the news
I see the same trend with the DSM. Lets stay on it and stop AWOL-boys agenda for the next 3.5 years to limit the damage he can do.

The path to war

After receiving astonishingly little notice for more than a month, the so-called Downing Street memo, concerning the road to war in Iraq, is finally beginning to command attention in Washington and the media.

The document, first disclosed May 1 by a British newspaper, is actually notes of a July 23, 2002, meeting of top British national security and intelligence officials at the London residence of Prime Minister Tony Blair. It summarizes a report by Richard Dearlove, then head of British intelligence's MI6 unit, who had just returned from a visit to Washington.

8. encouraging news
Looks like people are eagerly searching for the truth behind what has been going on. The more who become aware of DSM the better.
