Watch the Downing Street Memo hearings

C-Span3 will have these hearing live, and for those who's cable system doesn't offer this, they will have a webcast of the hearings Thursday afternoon. This will be coming live from the Capital, with the meeting chaired by Rep. J. Conyers.

After Downing Street, a collections of groups supporting peace, veterans, and truth have been pushing to have this document, and it key phrase 'Bush wanted to remove Saddam, through military action, justified by the conjunction of terrorism and WMD. But the intelligence and facts were being fixed around the policy' investigated.

Since this memo came out, additional memos have been leaked that make it clear: The US wanted war, and was making no effort to find a peaceful solution (despite the claims of administration officials). That the US had decided on was in the winter or spring of 2002, and that the US had no plan about how to recreate Iraq once Saddam was disposed.
