How much proof needed before the truth comes out?

Now seven leaked British documents raise Iraq war
questions

June 17, 2005—The Downing Street Memo—minutes of a meeting with
Prime Minister Tony Blair and his advisors that said the US was "fixing" the
intelligence to support the Iraq War—was not enough to get the mainstream
US media or members of Congress to take the issue seriously. Now there is
Downing II, III, IV, V, VI and VII!

As the evidence mounts, the failure of the media to seriously investigate the
issues is baffling. Why aren't they interviewing current and former US
military intelligence officials about these reports from the highest levels of
British government? Isn't the media supposed to investigate and get the
truth for their readers and viewers?

And, how about Congress—shouldn't they be subpoenaing witnesses to
testify under oath about pre-war intelligence gathering, the influence Bush
administration had on manipulating or misstating intelligence findings and
whether intelligence was gathered to report the truth or designed to support
a pre-ordained war? The chairman of Senate Intelligence Committee, Sen.
Pat Roberts, has promised to investigate whether intelligence was
manipulated by the administration—but that promise remains unfulfilled and
last week Knight-Ridder reporter Dick Polman was told it was "still on the
back burner." Maybe it is time to make good on that promise.

How much more information is needed before the truth is sought and
reported to the American people?

5. Isn't it strange?

Do you remember Bush blaming bad intelligence for his mistakes -- mistakes about how the Iraqis were going to greet us with open arms, about how there were weapons of mass destruction, about how Saddam had all those ties to Al Qaeda terrorists. And all the while the British knew the Bush administration was purposely "fixing" that bad intelligence to support their perverted policies.

The press pushed the war and enabled the "fixers" to do their work. Of course the press isn't going to turn around now and admit it helped commit war crimes. The only way to right this wrong is to get Tony Blair and his ministers in front of a judge and subpoena all their documents.

I don't think we can leave Iraq in the mess it is now, but I think the troops in Iraq should be under UN auspices, not under the leadership of any one country.
