Hey! Downing Street Minutes still matter, huh?! Despite Rove?

[icymist]

I'm only saying, don't forget the Downing Street Minutes in the mist of this 'Rove' controversy! I believe that what we can learn from Rove and the 'outing of Plame' and what was actually going on at the time that 'the Downing Street Minutes' were happening might just have an interesting conclusion.

[Idioteque]

1. Downing street what?

That's soooo last month :P.

[impeachthescoundrel]

2. In my opinion

The two stories are conjoined twins.

7. Yes of course. Since Wilson refuted the theocon yellowcake story

and the DSM exposes the yellowcake farce as only one of the lies spun to build a case for war,,, yes they are connected at the hip.

All this talk of yellowcake has made me hungry,,,,,,

3. they are hardly unrelated

[dogday]

4. Nobody is forgetting them..

Randy mentioned yesterday there are things in the works concerning the Downing Street Minutes. All of this is going to tie together, the forged documents from Niger, Joe Wilson's report of no purchase of yellow cake, and the fact that this administration tried to fix the facts around the policy for the Iraq war. The more that comes out, the worse for them.

5. It's all connected. The Rove story gives the DSM more credibility.

More attention to cooking the books... that's why Rove is news, after all. He went after somebody who accused the administration of "fixing the facts and intelligence".

6. I think that this is an important point. Everyone is reveling in the fact

that we may have rove pinned against the wall and they seem to be losing focus on what's the real criminal acts here. Not that what rove did wasn't a bad thing, it just doesn't quite measure up to starting a war that's caused death, destruction, and almost bankruptcy for this nation by lies and deception.

I worry that is the reason that the White House is staying silent. Playing this for all the can keeps the focus on kkkarl and off things like where the hell are the torture photos that were supposed to be released on June 30th.

8. They are one in the same.

n/t

[OmmmSweetOmmm]

10. Bingo! n/t

[many a good man]

9. Its all about the "cooking" or "fixing" of the intelligence

Sure wish that second Intelligence Committee report would come out.
