      The Honorable George W. Bush
      President of the United States of America
      1600 Pennsylvania Ave, N.W.
      Washington, D.C. 20005
      Dear Mr. President:
      We the undersigned write because of our concern regarding recent
disclosures of a Downing Street Memo in the London Times, comprising the
minutes of a meeting of Prime Minister Tony Blair and his top advisers.
These minutes indicate that the United States and Great Britain agreed, by
the summer of 2002, to attack Iraq, well before the invasion and before you
even sought Congressional authority to engage in military action, and that
U.S. officials were deliberately manipulating intelligence to justify the
war.
      Among other things, the British government document quotes a
high-ranking British official as stating that by July, 2002, Bush had made
up his mind to take military action. Yet, a month later, you stated you were
still willing to "look at all options" and that there was "no timetable" for
war. Secretary of Defense, Donald Rumsfeld, flatly stated that "[t]he
president has made no such determination that we should go to war with
Iraq."
      In addition, the origins of the false contention that Iraq had weapons
of mass destruction remain a serious and lingering question about the lead
up to the war. There is an ongoing debate about whether this was the result
of a "massive intelligence failure," in other words a mistake, or the result
of intentional and deliberate manipulation of intelligence to justify the
case for war. The memo appears to resolve that debate as well, quoting the
head of British intelligence as indicating that in the United States "the
intelligence and facts were being fixed around the policy."
      As a result of these concerns, we would ask that you respond to the
following questions:
      1)Do you or anyone in your administration dispute the accuracy of the
leaked document?
      2) Were arrangements being made, including the recruitment of allies,
before you sought Congressional authorization to go to war? Did you or
anyone in your Administration obtain Britain's commitment to invade prior to
this time?
      3) Was there an effort to create an ultimatum about weapons inspectors
in order to help with the justification for the war as the minutes indicate?
      4) At what point in time did you and Prime Minister Blair first agree
it was necessary to invade Iraq?
      5) Was there a coordinated effort with the U.S. intelligence community
and/or British officials to "fix" the intelligence and facts around the
policy as the leaked document states?
      These are the same questions 89 Members of Congress, led by Rep. John
Conyers, Jr., submitted to you on May 5, 2005. As citizens and taxpayers, we
believe it is imperative that our people be able to trust our government and
our commander in chief when you make representations and statements
regarding our nation engaging in war. As a result, we would ask that you
publicly respond to these questions as promptly as possible.
      Thank you for your prompt attention to this matter.
      Sincerely,

Senti, namib, lo so, sono una cazzona, la mia parola non vale niente, sono 
una donna senza orgoglio, ti ho detto che non ti avrei parlato più ed ecco 
qui che tu non mi parli da mesi e io è la quinta volta - da quando ho 
esternato le mie temibili minacce - che ti vengo sotto e tu non mi fili di 
pezza.
Solo una domanda, non è che sarai un po' monotematico, con questa cosa che 
bush è una merda e gli usa sono l'impero del male? Diventa un modello 
mentale un po' statico (ce li abbiamo tutti, eh?)

Beh, via, Bush a parte, ho parlato anche del Libano, di Israele, di
Hezbollah e del Pakistan; anche del referendum (btw, secondo me, la Chiesa è
in netto regresso, sostanziale e mediatico: il circo papale è solo un
circo). Però, è vero, sono un po' fissato con l'idiota: è che non ci posso
credere. Una volta, ok: sbagliamo tutti; ma due?! Shalom, capo.

 Hezbollah e del Pakistan;
massì, dai, volevo solo provocarti un po'.
