>Last week, I sent you the full minutes of a July 2002 meeting where 
>the British intelligence chief -- having just returned to London 
>from the White House -- told Prime Minister Tony Blair that, in 
>regards to Iraq War planning, "the intelligence and facts were being 
>fixed" by the Bush administration.
>
>Those minutes -- the "Downing Street Memo" -- finally made the front 
>page of the Washington Post on Sunday. Rep. John Conyers (D-Mich.) 
>holds hearings on the matter later this week.
>
>But now there's even more: As if we didn't have enough evidence that 
>the White House sacrificed over 1,700 American lives to a war based 
>on trumped-up charges, this past weekend brought news of yet another 
>memo -- this time, the PERSONAL SECRET UK EYES ONLY briefing paper 
>from that July 2002 meeting.
>
>What does the new memo show? That British officials worried about 
>"creat[ing] the conditions in which [they] could legally support 
>military action" -- because they knew the facts made no case for the 
>war Bush had decided to wage. Worse, it confirms the rudely obvious 
>fact that Bush had no clue how to deal with Iraq after toppling the 
>regime. To quote:
>
>"A post-war occupation of Iraq could lead to a protracted	and 
>costly nation-building exercise. As already made clear,	the 
>US military plans are virtually silent on this point."
>
>See the new EYES ONLY briefing and the Downing Street Memo for yourself:

>
>Together, these briefings give us the painful, raw truth. In 2002, 
>George W. Bush fixed the facts. He didn't have an exit strategy. He 
>still doesn't. And every day, our sons and daughters in Iraq pay a 
>terrible price because of it.
>
>We need to get out of this mess.
>
>Democracy for America is looking for ideas - yours - on how best to 
>spread the word on the Downing Street papers. Is it reprints in 
>newspapers across the country? Is it a "Did You Get The Memo?" 
>advertising campaign? Or, maybe, it's billboards in Crawford?
>

>
>Be creative. The best ideas always come from the grassroots. Later 
>this week, we'll announce the campaign that you help design.
>
>The facts in the memo and the briefing can't be twisted, and they 
>can't be fixed. Together, we're going to get them to as many people 
>as we can -- because America deserves the truth about the White 
>House's failed and misguided policy.
