The originals will net him and his source a nice long term in a British jail for violating the British Secrets Acts.

Conyers is an idiot and an a$$hole, who is re elected by dumber idiots and bigger a$$holes.

He is like Michael Jackson and OJ Simpson. He can lie, murder and prey on children and be re elected by his racist idiot voters.

We should ask Rush to start a line of "Downing Street Memo" T-Shirts :-)

Here's an idea for a slogan: "You Wont Believe What's In My Downing Street Memo's"

One would think that after the last anti-Bush fiasco the Libs would quit with the fake memo ploy. Duh.

"he protected the identity of the source he had obtained the documents from by typing copies of them on plain paper and destroying the originals"

Repeat! Repeat of Dan Blabber episode.

If the memos succeeded in triggering an attempt to unseat Blair I could envision him being offered immunity in exchange for producing the originals as evidence.

Without them he would be in a lose-lose: either the copies would be ruled unsubstantial and his story discredited or they would be upheld and he would be subject to the penalties you mention, since there would be no need to grant him immunity for what he's already released. He shouldn't be able to have it both ways, i.e. able to claim they are real enough to indict Blair and Bush but not real enough to land him in jail.

madison10 sums up this latest feeble bs attempt by the left wing to electronically lynch our president:

One would think that after the last anti-Bush fiasco the Libs would quit with the fake memo ploy. Duh.

They did it this way because of FOB&B syndrome. (Fear of Buckwheat & Bloggers) The KNEW what would happen if they put the jury-rigged copies up.

Dan Rather said that if those memos are fake he would like to be the one to break the story.

They teach that in journalism schools these days. It's called the Buckhead protocol.

The whole "staged hearing" thing is downright weird, almost creepy. What's next? A puppet show? Interpretive dance?

Ive got a Downing Street Memo that says GW Bush thinks he is Napoleon

And I've got one that says Napoleon thinks he's W.


AND I've got one that says I'm the heir to England's throne once the Queen kicks off. ;D
