Demagogue

The esteemed Rep. John Conyers (D-Michigan) is collecting signatures to accompany a letter of concern to Bush about the Downing Street Memo. In the letter Conyers asks Bush a bunch of good questions that we all know he'll never ever answer, but it's still nice to do it anyways.

1)Do you or anyone in your administration dispute the accuracy of the leaked document?
2) Were arrangements being made, including the recruitment of allies, before you sought Congressional authorization to go to war? Did you or anyone in your Administration obtain Britain's commitment to invade prior to this time?
3) Was there an effort to create an ultimatum about weapons inspectors in order to help with the justification for the war as the minutes indicate?
4) At what point in time did you and Prime Minister Blair first agree it was necessary to invade Iraq?
5) Was there a coordinated effort with the U.S. intelligence community and/or British officials to "fix" the intelligence and facts around the policy as the leaked document states?

Conyers also has not-too-shady blog of his own that reveals that he seems far more familiar with the progressive blogosphere than most politicians. Nicely done, congressman.

So, if you feel like signing onto the letter, please do so here. Who knows, maybe it still can seep into America's collective consciousness.
