Udall signs letter that seeks truth about Iraq

Steve Terrell | The New Mexican
May 25, 2005

U.S. Rep. Tom Udall, D-N.M., has signed onto a letter asking that President Bush answer questions about a top-secret document that indicates the United States had made up its mind to invade Iraq and planned to manipulate intelligence to justify it.

The July 2002 document by an adviser to British Prime Minister Tony Blair has been called the "Downing Street Memo" or "Smoking Gun Memo."

Rep. John Conyers, D-Michigan, and 88 other Democratic members of Congress sent a letter to Bush earlier this month asking whether the memo, unveiled by The Sunday Times of London on May 1, accurately portrayed the administration's thinking at the time.

It also asks whether there was a coordinated effort to "fix" intelligence to justify an invasion.

Glad to see this is still going around. Any republicans sign on? There were three republicans who voted against the real ID act. Has Conyers tried them yet? They were a guy from North Carolina (I can't remember his name), John Duncan from Tennessee and Ron Paul from Texas.

4. Good news
The more congresspeople we get to attach their names to this letter, the closer to the truth we might get.
