Only last week, House Democrats staged a mock impeachment hearing based on the re-created document.

Schadenfreude.

The Minneapolis Star/Tribune (aka The Red Star) has thoroughly researched this issue (in other words, have beaten it to death) and are convinced that the Downing Street memo is completely accurate.

And I believe them....each and every word.

(sarcasm off)

"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."

I'm not suprised at all. How many times will these Democrats walk away with egg on their face and still never learn from it? John Kerry is an ass.

Yeah right. WHAT ORIGINALS. By trying to make everyone BELIEVE he destroyed the originals, he assumes we will think his articles are based on facts. NICE TRY....better luck next time A-hole.

Kerry is sooooo desperate! Desperate times, desperate measures.

It's a pitiful thing to watch a grown man make a fool of himself.

I guess Smith et al knew better than to produce the "original" document--it was likely a forgery and would have been picked apart instantly. To suggest the problems might be limited to just a typo or two is certainly generous, but unlikely.

Any more, it appears that if you can't find the news you want to report, just make it up.

Do these people actually work? Tax payers money being wasted is what I think. What a bunch of loosers...

the source of the memo now admitting he retyped the document before destroying the originals.

That's about as convenient as an unobserves autopsy followed by a quick cremation

This would actually be funny if it wasn't such a serious issue. Conyers and his crew have invoked the Dan Rather standard...NONE! And this is supposedly from 2002? Bull cookies!

These retyped versions of the destroyed copies of the alleged originals remind me of the old Stephen Wright joke:

I have the authentic original axe that George Washington used to cut down the cherry tree. Of course, I did have to replace the handle....and the head. But it does occupy the same space.

British reporter Michael Smith, who broke the memo story in the London Times on May 1, revealed to the Associated Press over the weekend that he "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."


Could this mean destroying the original copies ? Why would someone give up the real originals ? Why retype, when white-out/photocopy is easier to do ?
