The invasion of Iraq was a war crime based on lies. A recent Zogby poll found that 42 percent of Americans believe George Bush should be impeached if he lied about Iraq, and the Downing Street minutes prove that Bush lied,'' said After Downing Street co-founder Bob Fertik.
The Downing Street memo was among a series of documents detailing the run-up to the March, 2003 invasion of Iraq. The papers, which summarized meetings between U.S. and British officials in 2002, appeared to lend support to administration critics' charge that the White House long had been determined to invade Iraq and that it doctored intelligence findings to justify the military offensive.
The documents received prominent play in British media--culminating in the May 1, 2005, publication by London's Sunday Times of the Downing Street memo itself--but relatively scant attention in the United States.
That is why, ''working together, using the Internet and other forms of new media, hundreds of thousands of regular citizens have come together to force the issue of Bush's pre-war deception onto the national agenda,'' said After Downing Street co-founder David Swanson.
