How many in the US Congress are unaware of Downing St. Minutes?
If they are aware, why are they ignoring it? Do they think it is not newsworthy? They knew Bush was lying to them when they voted for the war? But it didn't matter? It still doesn't matter after the fact?

If they are unaware, why? Do they have their heads in the sand? Do they not want to know the truth? Can they not handle the truth?

1. I doubt that most of my co-workers know about it.
I'm just speculating though, since I don't discuss politics at work.

2. Not enough. It's actually received very little local paper coverage.
And most major media coverage is refuted with the "old news" claim.

3. They ARE aware, but they are mostly Republican and
without major noise from their (mostly Republican) constituencies they will not do anything. Given the choice between action and inaction, inaction is almost always the safest course in any organization.
