Video proves AP account of Downing Street memo question wrong

#
The AP copy distributed to the papers was:

Q: Thank you, sir. On Iraq, the so-called "Downing Street Memo" from July 2002, says, "Intelligence and facts remain fixed around the policy of removing Saddam through military actions." Is this an accurate reflection of what happened? Could both of you respond?

BLAIR: Well, I can respond to that very easily. No, the facts were not being fixed in any shape or form at all. And let me remind you that that memorandum was written before we then went to the United Nations.

The official White House / Milbank account stated:

Q Thank you, sir. On Iraq, the so-called Downing Street memo from July 2002 says intelligence and facts were being fixed around the policy of removing Saddam through military action. Is this an accurate reflection of what happened? Could both of you respond?

PRIME MINISTER BLAIR: Well, I can respond to that very easily. No, the facts were not being fixed in any shape or form at all. And let me remind you that that memorandum was written before we then went to the United Nations.

3. Sent this to Milbank earlier...

A question...

What on earth makes you think that the DSM story is
going away? "Left Wing" activists (as you so
skillfully state) are not the only people in America
that are enraged by the factual evidence provided by
the DSM. I think it would be safe to say that there
are a few "Right Wing" activists that aren't all too
pleased with this new revelation! As an American
concerned for the future of her country, I implore you
to start reporting FACTS! Perhaps the $1000.00 reward
for ACTUAL JOURNALISM wouldn't have entered the
equation if the MSM had done their JOBS! The media's
credibility is in the balance. After all, these
minutes were released over a month ago. Why is it
that you are just getting around to reporting
something as important as this? Now there's an
elephant worth keeping an eye on!

It was my response to an article he had written about an "elephant" in the room. This entire situation smacks of treason, IMO.
