much to the chagrin of the Amazing Mentallo (my penis), more people are talking about the pre-war sekrit british meeting minutes (now called the Downing Street Memo) that turned up during the recent british elections. it's still mostly bloggy & punditty types, but Krugman (bugos651/bugos) hit it up in the NY Times today, and the full text of the memo will be published for the first time in the US this week, in *drumroll* THE NEW YORK REVIEW OF BOOKS! WOOOO!

how big of a collective fourth estate pussy do you have to be to get pwned by the new york review of books?

anyway, out of shame for being so wrong, The Amazing Mentallo (my penis) hereby retires, renounces any claim to precognitave powers, and returns to being El Santo, Masked Wrestling Avenger.

When Vlad refers to his penis in the first person, I'm immediately distrustful.

I'll just observe to see what develops, but I sense a trap.

Analysis of the media blackout of the Downing Street Memo, for anyone that cares.

And Congressman Conyers turns up the heat.

from Robert Parry, with more on the Bolton angle.

from P.M. Carpenter, on the right's response and why it will be hard to pin anything on bush.

and another mention in a real actual papery newspaper, the North Jersey Record.

vladtweano: analysis from a cia vet on tompaine.com


CIA vet =
"He had a 27-year career as a CIA analyst, and now works for Tell the Word, the publishing arm of the ecumenical Church of the Saviour in Washington, DC.
I wonder if Jack Chick has any influence on his new sensibilities.

as an attempted concession to all the recent complaining about my downing st. links, all further dsm-related links from me will be posted here, and if you have zero interest, you can ignore them all at once and you won't have to twitter and fume about them cluttering up the queue. pleased? boy i hope so, as far as you know.

like bill hicks said, all governments are lying cocksuckers. it's the job of the fourth estate, our esteemed media, shining beacon of freedom and lap I MEAN WATCHdog of the republic (lazy mewling ditch pigs who are the ball lickers) to hold them accountable to the public. they are afforded protections to do so. i submit that in this capacity they have entirely FAILED, and that seems evident in their attempts to laugh off this story and, on a larger scale, their own measure of responsibility for the puddle of runny shit we're all squatting in now.

dana milbank in the washington post tried to laugh this off. here's john conyers smacking him around.

here's greg mitchell, also smacking him around.

here's a story about a pre-war air campaign that somehow escaped notice in 2002.

weird commentary from thomas oliphant on how the media just repeats each side's claims, however outrageous, and calls it "balance", and how the right is using that to its advantage right now by...retreating...or something. interesting.

Damn, Mundhra, that's beautiful, profound, poetic, and unspeakably articulate (no pun intended). Now I wanna see a picture of him wiping his ass on the Constitution. I don't speak photoshop -- any takers out there?

interesting analysis (from a lefty political blog, so you know) linking the valerie plame case (a cia agent outed by someone in the white house for apparent political payback) to the downing street memos. curiouser.
