DSM – The Story that We Wouldn’t Let Die


Things may seem smooth and uneventful on the surface, but beneath the surface, the turmoil over the Downing Street Minutes continues to grow.

Just today, Molly Ivin’s excellent editorial on the growing scandal was reprinted in Common Dreams.

The San Jose Mercury News, the key technology paper in the country, has a good article on the efforts of Gina and Bob Fesmire, who developed the invaluable downingstreetmemo.com site.

None other than the Kennebec Journal, Maine’s oldest newspaper, from Augusta, carries yet more coverage on the issue, and notes that on the day after our DSM hearings more than 1,700 news articles ran on the issue.

Finally, my new favorite domestic paper, the Minneapolis Star Tribune (registration required), ran my rebuttal to the Washington Post’s coverage of the hearings.

Lest I forget, the LA Times ran a Michael Smith commentary (that's Michael Smith from my new favorite international paper, the London Times), explaining how the real bombshell in the DSM was the revelations concerning the increase in bombing activity in the summer of 2002.

This is just a sampling. Every day there are up to scores of articles and web stories. We may not have subpoena power yet, but we do have the power of the people – and the Internet – and we will not let this story die until we receive answers.
