Scroll down and email the major networks.

My email read like this:

Please report on the "Downing Street Memo".

I think the American people deserve to know that "the intelligence and facts were being fixed around the policy" in the lead up to war in Iraq.
This is a real tragedy and proof, or a "smoking gun" if you will, that war was the first and only option considered by the Bush administration.

Thank you.

3. Blair faces US probe over secret Iraq invasion plan ("memogate")

I can't start a topic in LBN (not enough posts) but seems like this should go there.. Maybe someone else would like to post it up..?

From the Sunday Times (London)

SENIOR American congressmen are considering sending a delegation to London to investigate Britain’s role in preparations for the war in Iraq.

[...]

Conyers said the memo raised “very serious questions about an abuse of power , . . it is a very serious constitutional matter”. Under the US constitution, only Congress has the power to declare war, and it was not until mid-October 2002 that Bush obtained the necessary authorisation to begin military preparations.

[...]

By sending investigators to London, Conyers hopes to stir the US media into re-examining a story largely ignored in America since Bush’s re-election victory in November.

“I deplore the fact that our media have been so reticent on the question of whether there was a secret planning of a war for which neither the Congress nor the American people had given permission,” Conyers said.
