About That Downing Street Memo

Every day or two we get an email from a lefty demanding to know why we haven’t written about the “Downing Street memo” that John Kerry and others are treating as a bombshell revelation. Actually, we wrote about that memo (and quoted it in full) more than a month ago, just after it became public. Our analysis is here: “A Gun That Doesn’t Smoke.” In a word, the memo is extremely interesting, but tells us nothing new about pre-war intelligence on Iraq, and is anything but a bombshell.
DEACON adds: It looks like even lefties can get ahead of the curve if they read Power Line.
