Rupert Murdoch's London-based newspaper, is launching a U.S. edition June 6 after seeing large increases in Times Online readership in the U.S.One year ago, an employee within the highest circle of British government leaked to the Times of London a memo that was to become known as the Downing Street memo. It proves that everything the Bush administration said about the Iraq invasion was a lie. Heard much detail despite it being widely reported in the rest of the world for over a year now?
The Downing Street memo contains minutes from a meeting of Tony Blair's war cabinet, held in July of 2002. In the meeting, two of Blair's top officials report on discussions just held in Washington with officials at the most senior levels of the Bush administration.
The memo shows unequivocally that the Bush administration had decided by July 2002, at the latest, to invade Iraq and that "...the intelligence and facts were being fixed around the policy"
Based on the disturbing Downing Street memo revelations, 89 members of Congress sent a letter to president Bush to demand an immediate explanation. Heard much back on that yet?
Welcome to New York, Times of London.
