Flutterby™! : Downing Street

Ya know what? I'm just out of energy. But Mark Morford goes on a good rant about the Downing Street Memos, the recently uncovered documents which pretty much prove that our current administration is a bunch of lying assholes with ulterior motives, and Lyn collects some of the good response to The Washington Post's comment that:

The memos add not a single fact to what was previously known about the administration's prewar deliberations. Not only that: They add nothing to what was publicly known in July 2002.

In other words, if you missed the fact that the so called "intelligence failures" that Dubya and his cronies have tried to pass off on to the CIA were documented on the front page above the fold in even The New York Times (which, despite Ann Coulter's underinformed bile, has admitted to single-sourcing and not independently verifying stories given to it by the Whitehouse press office) before the invasion, if you've missed that the reasons and justifications given for the invasion have been constantly in flux, if, by some strange trick of your memory, you think that there's anything at all on the up-and-up that this administration has been telling you, the Washington Post wants to make it clear that they're not at fault.

Sorry. If this weren't all coincident with the attacks on our freedoms of expression I'd just chalk this up to one more set of corrupt lying politicians and gloss it over. But today I'm just not willing to cut the lying slimeball weasels much slack.
