Raw Story - The ranking Democrat on the House Judiciary Committee has scheduled hearings on the 2002 minutes between senior British and American officials which asserted that intelligence was “being fixed” to support the case for war in Iraq, RAW STORY has learned.
The hearings, which will be held next Thursday, will bring renewed attention to what is being called the “Downing Street memo,” actually official minutes of a secret 2002 meeting.
Conyers office has revealed that they will introduce new documents that corroborate the Downing Street Memo at the hearings June 16.
“We expect to release new documents that corroborate the Downing Street memo,” a Judiciary aide, speaking on condition of anonymity, told RAW STORY Thursday afternoon. “None of the documents are as earth-shattering as the Downing Street minutes but all of them corroborate the accuracy of what it says.”

Here’s the lineup of those scheduled to “testify.” See if you can tell me who’s missing…

Among those scheduled to testify are Joe Wilson, former ambassador and weapons of mass destruction expert; Ray McGovern, a 27-year CIA analyst, used to do presidential daily briefings for Ronald Reagan; Cindy Sheehan, a mother who lost her son in Iraq combat; and John Bonifaz, the Boston constitutional lawyer who has called for a resolution of inquiry into what he sees as impeachable offenses in the president’s false pretenses for war.

How about someone who is, you know, actually connected to the memo. Heck, I’d settle for somebody with an objective view of the current President. All due respect Cindy Sheehan and the loss of her son, but why in the world would she be called to testify on this matter?
Can you say “sham hearing?” The only thing that’s going to come out of this is a few good Bush-bashing sound bites for the media to hype.
