The Downing Street Memo

Reaction to it has snowballed to the point of Congressional forums and calls for impeachment. Some see proof of Presidential perjury in the cryptic meeting notes from a 2002 meeting of U.K. leadership. Others see nothing of note. Now that the Downing Street memo is becoming the cornerstone piece of evidence for accusing Bush of duplicity in pushing the war case, it's worth knowing what it does and doesn't say. Fred Kaplan has the most fair and lucid treatment you'll find.

Update** The hearing may not have been quite as serious as it appeared.
