1. Top 11 reasons

Top 11 reasons to ignore the Downing Street Minutes (a.k.a. The Downing Street Memo).

11. They're poorly translated.

10. Michael Jackson isn't mentioned.

9. Thought that any effort to "fix" Bush's intelligence would have been applauded.

8. Britain and the US were already bombing Iraq in an attempt to provoke a response from Hussein as a justification war.

7. Unhinged Howard Dean just said of the GOP, "it's pretty much a White Christian Party."
(Only 82% of Republicans identify themselves as White and Christian.)

6. Don't want to dignify outlandish questions from radical fringe groups, like 94 members of the US House of Representatives.

5. That was before we pursued the diplomatic course of lying to the UN, bugging the offices of members of the Security Council, and then reneging on our promise to seek a vote where those members would have to "put their cards on the table."

4. It's old news. Didn't you read the books by Suskind and Woodward? The 2004 elections gave the war the imprimatur of the American people.

3. Can't bring yourself to call the President of the United States a liar... unless he's a Democrat who falsely denies an affair.

2. If it was important, someone would tell you so.

1. You've become accustomed to the lifestyle afforded a network or major newspaper reporter.
