Well, Pan, anything that references the Downing Street Memo doesn't cut it with me. The "journalist" who reported disclosed it couldn't produce the original. Why?

"Well," the 'journalist' said (paraphrasing), "i rewrote it in my own words to make it more clear and destroyed the original."

Sorry. Can't take that seriously.

Debate could rage on about the yellow cake uranium. I think Wilson is a fraud and have documented why in the past. Others do not think so.

As well, and I have in the past, I could list the leading democrats who also believed the Saddam had WMD. They all said it during the Clinton administration, by the way. So again, I yawn.

I could also list the foreign intelligence services - including many who were against the invasion of Iraq - who told us he had WMD.

So....more of the same old rhetoric, same old things. I will never convince you, and you will never convince me. We've gone around this so many times on this board.

Yawn.

Looks like it came from here (or there's a common source):

"SourceWatch is an encyclopedia of people, issues and groups shaping the public agenda."

From the bottom of their own website.

I think this alone discounts anything they have to say. They admit right here that they are attempting to "Shape" the public agenda. Not report...shape :rolleyes:

Are they saying THEY are attempting to do that, or that the entries in the encyclopedia are examples of people, issues, and groups trying to do that?

Looks like it's the latter...

From their main page.
