Downing Street Revisited

Looks like the Democratic Party is taking more steps in the right direction. I would like to take this opportunity to thank Rep. John Conyers, D-MI., for spearheading this issue. Thank you for taking a stand for democracy.

What really irritates me about the whole process is described in this passage from the article:

"The Democratic congressmen were relegated to a tiny room in the bottom of the Capitol, and the Republicans who run the House scheduled 11 major votes to coincide with the afternoon event".

Hey...that's convenient. When an opportunity comes to defend the memo and show the world that the Republicans in charge have nothing to hide, they conveniently make themselves busy approving their own agendas. Excellent!

Another great point from this article:

"John Bonifaz, a lawyer and co-founder of a new group called AfterDowningStreet.org, said the lack of interest by congressional Republicans in the Downing Street memo is like Congress during Nixon's presidency saying 'we don't want' the Watergate tapes".

That's a pretty stong statement. I hope this doesn't get swept under the rug.

Fight the good fight Mr. Conyers!
