Oakland Trib: "Memo on Iraq met mostly with silence" (DSM)

Memo on Iraq met mostly with silence
Bush officials mum despite calls for answers on Brit report

It's been more than a month since The Times of London published a secret British government memo from mid-2002 describing the Bush administration's resolve to invade Iraq whether it posed a threat or not.
It's been about a month since 89 House Democrats — including six from the Bay Area — asked the president to explain himself in light of this memo.

And it's been almost three weeks since the White House press secretary said that isn't going to happen.

So now what?

The blogosphere still burns with items about what's often called the "Downing Street memo," named for he site of the British prime minister's home and office.

And House Judiciary Committee ranking Democrat John Conyers, D-Mich., who authored the House Democrats' letter, has put a version of that letter on his campaign Web site, www.johnconyers.com, so the public can add their "signatures" for submittal to the White House; about 89,000

2. What's more
it's suffering from the number deflation that happens at protest rallies. As of Saturday, Conyers had 200,000 signatures, not 89,000 if I remember correctly.
