Reasons to Say Minutes, Not Memo
By Grace Reid
Reasons Why DSM should be called DSMinutes
Ray McGovern said they were "Downing Street Minutes," after 27 years with the CIA wouldn't he know when looking at documents what they are?
They are in fact, minutes of a meeting where Rycroft was acting sec'y.
The MSM, White House, McCain, McClellan, Rice, Straw and others have used "a memo" to minimize importance.
Downing Street Minutes is a way to track effectiveness in breaking through US media blackout.
The public has the false impression that they are a memo, a matter of one person's take, or opinion. The MSM and "blogworld" have judged the public to be too stupid to know the difference.
Secretaries and record keepers know the difference.
Using the correct term strengthens the case to bring about a Resolution of Inquiry, emphasizing EVIDENCE OF A CRIME WE HAVE LONG KNOWN WAS COMMITTED.
I have been tracking this since the first of May when it broke.

Currently to date, June 9, 2005, the Accuracy Rating in the Main Stream News is 33%, down six points from the day before the B & B news conference.
The Web world is even bleaker, with an 18.4% Accuracy Rating today.
When you call it "Downing Street Memo" without referring to the documents being minutes, that's not accurate.
On this score, Bush and Blair are way out in front. They were actually talking about minutes. Good boy George, Good boy Tony!
It may be known colloquially as a memo, but that's about as descriptive as a post-it note, and in most offices has about the same shelf life.
