2. the last question was bogus
The ongoing violence in Iraq as reported (reluctantly) by the MSM has led to parents discouraging their sons and daughters from joining as well as the sons and daughters themselves looking for fun and excitement elsewhere.

Just a reminder of some very, very important links:

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. These minutes of a British cabinet meeting raise 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.

This document suggest that the Bush administration was determined to “fix intelligence” around a predetermined policy.

It is most disturbing that there has been a little mention of “The Downing Street Memo” in most of the American media. Even more disturbing is the minimum coverage or discussion 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 address this issue and provide more 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 held 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 and the matters that were raised.


Sincerely,
