Really? I thought someone in the US administration had said it was rubbish or something like that. I haven't heard a word of it in the media out here....

Eeven the british government has not questioned the authenticity of the memo.

Personally, I think removing Saddam is a good thing for a number of reasons (regardless of actual possession of WMDs), but its too bad GB evidently made the invasion case based on WMD possession.

Arguing that Saddam gone is a good thing is irrelevant to the matter of the memo. Ends don't justify means. If that was the way of the land, we'd have lawlesness. That's the essence of the memo. It highlights the fact that the president of the US had decided to go to war while he was telling the country that war was his last resort and while he was making mockery of the UN process...therein lies the integrity and lawlessness of the matter. More obvious, the head of the MI6 was telling his PM that he was going to war come what may, contraddicting what blair was telling his country then and what he has told them since.

If that "already 95% decided to invade" mentality is being held against US the administration, I don't think it should be (it seemed pretty obvious to me).

So what? Who cares what was obvious to you or anyone else.
