Another Downing Street memo?

Imagine that: there are, at last count, two Downing Street memos. Many Americans already know about the one accusing Bush of seeking to sex up the intelligence to justify invading Iraq, but how many know about the latest one circulating on the web? I’ll give you a hint. Don’t like the news? Just bomb the messenger! At least, that’s what Bush had in mind during discussions with Toady Blair about bombing al Jazeera. Luckily, Blair talked Bush out of it. Why Blair thinks his association with Bush is a good thing (politically speaking) is beyond me.
