Come to think of it, this would work with other combinations of words we're not seeing enough of in the media, like impeach Bush.

Tens of thousands of these requests would have to add a significant amount of weight to this snowball.

Peace

Here is my standard letter to the Media:





Dear Sir/Madam:



As you know, on May 1 of this year a document now commonly referred to as “|The Downing Street Memo” was released into the British Press. This document raises serious question about how the administration was handling intelligence related to Iraq and appears to suggest that the Bush Administration had already decided on war when publicly it was claiming that no such decision had been made. Now further documents have been released in the British media which cast even further doubts.



These documents and other documents suggest that the Bush administration was determined to “fix intelligence” around a predetermined policy. Some of these documents make it clear that the administration had no credible plan for dealing with the post-war occupation.



It is most disturbing that there has been a virtual media blackout regarding “The Downing Street Minutes” and other disturbing documents.



Even more disturbing is the absence in the America media of any credible in-depth follow-up discussion or coverage regarding strong, credible and independent evidence that the Bush Administration intentionally mislead the U.S. Congress, the media and the American people.



I do hope you will accept the responsibility to address this issue and provide serious investigative journalism into this matter.



Furthermore, on Thursday June 16, 2005, Rep. John Conyers, Jr., ranking minority member of the House Judiciary Committee, and other House members will hold a hearing to consider testimony concerning the Downing Street minutes and questions of possible fixing of prewar intelligence. I do hope you will be giving full coverage to these events.



Sincerely,

[Shallah Kali]
