NBC NIGHTLY NEWS IS *FINALLY* OPENING ITS EYES RE DSM AND OTHER DOCS

[BigBearJohn]

WASHINGTON — It started during British Prime Minister Tony Blair's re-election campaign last month, when details leaked about a top-secret memo, written in July 2002 — eight months before the Iraq war. In the memo, British officials just back from Washington reported that prewar "intelligence and facts were being fixed around the policy" to invade Iraq.

Just last week, President Bush and Blair vigorously denied that war was inevitable.

But now, war critics have come up with seven more memos, verified by NBC News.

In fact, current and former diplomats tell NBC News they understood from the beginning the Bush policy to be that Saddam had to be removed — one way or the other.

The only question was when and how.

2. NBC must be scared they'll be seen as complicit in the buildup for war.

They knew then they were being used to propmote war, and now they don't want the public to blame them when it all comes out.
