DaMemo

MO' MEMO STUFF
* conyers: "But, even making the (demonstrably false) assumption that President Bush was elected last November, there was no accountability on Iraq." LINK
wow - thats a helluva statement

* krug on iraq and TheMemo (he even points to georgias site!): " I'm not advocating an immediate pullout, but we have to tell the Iraqi government that our stay is time-limited, and that it has to find a way to take care of itself. The point is that something has to give. We either need a much bigger army - which means a draft - or we need to find a way out of Iraq." LINK
cwly?

* wapo ombudsman: " When I asked editors at the time why there had been no coverage (on TheMemo), I was told that "it was a story that, in the best of all worlds, would have been in the paper, but we were tied up with election coverage."" LINK
lol - are these people actually stupid? or do they just pretend? its not a UK story, u gimp! perhaps 'we' made a mistake in retrospect calling in the DowningStreetMemo.
the ombudsman proceeds: "(the emails he has received are) a reminder of how powerfully the circumstances leading up to this war still reverberate within a sizable chunk of the population and why the press should not let go of any loose ends that may shed light on how this happened."
indeed - people care - and, no, it isnt a 'loose end' - its the cassus belli and the warcrimes and treason and all that.

* btw - wolfblitzer did quite a big TheMemo story. update: its here

* the New York Review of Books takes on TheMemo LINK
