What ever happened with the downing street memo?
92424
It got buried behind meaningless distractions like Terry Schiavo, the debate over gay marriage, and Cheney's hunting accident.

There were 2 versions. The government keeps a lot that goes on closed to public these days so it's hard to tell what they're up to at times. If it weren't for some stuff trickling into the media we'd never know much of anything. Pretty pathetic. What happened to our democracy?

It is, in actuality, not a big deal at all. Being "peppered" happens all the time in bird hunting. It was just an accident.\n\nIt is funny though, listening to some of the questions that the reporters put forward. Things like "What is the reason he has not submitted his resignation?" "Is an accidental shooting like this going to result in criminal charges?" etc.... It is totally laughable. The liberal media is insistent on making any little thing into some reason to bash the administration. What next, some conspiracy theory that Bush ordered Cheney to assasinate the guy?

Congratulations for asking the funniest question of the day.\n\nIf you are actually serious, the answer is a decided NO.\nThe Bush administration has squandered virtually any credibility it had ... non-existent WMDs, violating the law left and right, rampant secrecy.

Well never know.\n\nFrom what I read, people didn't believe Nixon could have known about that watergate thing.

Here are lots of things that happened.  I don't think they are called current events when they happened thirty years ago though!

What has been happening for about 5 years? Would you add some details please.

What an astonishing turn of events.  Sure illustrates that this administration has little regard for national security -- only grabbing and holding onto power.  As Bush did not listen to military about troop levels, he didn't listed to his own security czar Negreponte, who didn't want this posted.  Can you believe Andrew Card actually proposed that the real damage was done by the NY Times in reporting the story.\n\nThe brouhaha over John Kerry's unfortunate joke delivery about Bush getting (US) stuck in Iraq got ten thousand percent more coverage than this serious security breach and W is holding the smoking gun.  Go figure.

Anything is possible.  We're talking about something that happened a long time ago.  The only thing we had left is what someone wrote down.  At some point in time anyone could delete/add anything.

The UK general election, 1997 was held on 1 May 1997. The election brought the first change in UK Government for 18 years. The Labour Party led by Tony Blair defeated the incumbent Conservative Party by a huge margin (66% majority in the House of Commons), causing a major change to the political landscape of the United Kingdom.\n\nTony Blair periods in the office - 2 May 1997 - present

It was hidden because a plausible cover story was needed to buy time for the PTB and USG to get their versions straight.  Never forget Osama and Saddam were creations of the USG.  Don't let the formerly-free press and the inept teachers re-write recent American history.  We need to remember the Shah of Iran, the Hostages, Iran/Contra, Bush Sr.'s CIA Drug Running/Clinton as Gov. & Mena, Airport, etc....etc...\n\nI am waiting for the late 1980's-2000 edition of the declassified USG throw away documents...there will be interesting reading.

maybe he misplaced the memo...

I think there are several layers to this. One is the moral question, however hypocritical, it will always be raised in such cases as John Prescott or whomever is implicated. Another is the absolute media frenzy such titillating stories always stir up, especially in Britain. There is simply no escaping this. Finally, in this particular instance, it is the cumulative effect these scandals (Charles Clarke's incompetence alone was enough to create this media firestorm) are having on Tony Blair's leadership. The opposition have of course pounced on these so-called breach of trust issues and they'll not let go until they exact their pound of flesh. This isn't just politics UK style, it's politics the world over.

It was a political move...keep the troll hidden.\n\nIsn't it amazing how many people answer a question not asked?

It is an issue in the past.  It was involved in the circumstances and political climate of its day, and there does not appear to be any sabotage intended.  It simply happened, in the open, up front.  There was nothing underhanded in that it was not ratified.

You did not know? I am not surprised; it is classified information.\nDon't tell anybody else, but I have it on authority that all is revealed in this highly confidential document:\nwww.abovetopsecret.com/forum\n/thread181168/pg1
