A concise, cogent and very well-researched account of the Downing Street memos. Let's hope that your well-written article will help in waking-up a sleepy world to the lies and deceit of our 'leaders'.
It's such a shame that we need all of this - documentary evidence, a website dedicated to it, etc.. to get the message across.... it was painfully obvious from the outset that it was either oil or revenge prompting the war. Unfortunately, Bush and Blair were banking on the timing of high emotions and the blatant ignorance of the American public to sell their war.

Good luck in your effort though. My guess is that the powers that be will not allow your extraoridinary efforts to succeed.
Besides, the media is more interested in selling sex in the Whitehouse than it is the lies that were told which now sacrifice the lives of our innocent youth!
Omg; In my high school history class, we got an opportunity to do extra credit which was to summarize the dowing stree memo. I searched all over & really jsut couldn't understand what they were trying to say. Your article is amazing; greatt job<3 & thankss so much!
