Gee; I wonder if there are any American memos like Downing Street?

I find it somewhere between difficult and impossible to believe that there are no memos from anyone in our own Government that questioned the rationale for war, the lack of planning, the outright lies? Where's our State Dept leak?

If the cause be so just, then what's with all the lying?

1. The CIA has undoubtedly confiscated and shredded them all
by now. You can be assured they exist(ed) but they'll never see the light of day.

3. I am sure there are
But finding somebody with the guts to release them is another story. People around George have had deadly accidents.

MYSTERY SURROUNDS DEATH OF STATE DEPT. OFFICIAL

by Wayne Madsen

November 20, 2003 (FTW), WASHINGTON -- In a case eerily reminiscent of the death of British Ministry of Defense bio-weapons expert, Dr. David Kelly, an official of the State Department's Bureau of Intelligence and Research Near East and South Asian division (INR/NESA), John J. Kokal, 58, was found dead in the late afternoon of November 7. Police indicated he may have jumped from the roof of the State Department. Kokal's body was found at the bottom of a 20 foot window well, 8 floors below the roof of the State Department headquarters near the 23rd and D Street location. Kokal's death was briefly mentioned in a FOX News website story on November 8 but has been virtually overlooked by the major media.

6. These thugs carefully control and shape information.

Only first-hand witnesses can overcome that IMO.

On edit: unless there's been some covert surveillance, that is.

7. Me thinks something might be in the requested...
Bolton information that the State Dept. is refusing to release.

There must be something pretty damning for them to be stonewalling like this.

9. I agree that all related documents have been shredded by now
but these Repukes are so hell bent on saving their own arses, that I'm sure somebody kept a few copies. Ya know, on a "just in case" basis. It's one of those people that I want to see step up and tell the REAL story.

12. You are probably breathing the gases they gave off
when they were tossed in the incinerator.
