What is the Downing Street Memo and why is it so controversial?

MrsAce

Recounting a meeting of Prime Minister Tony Blair's national security team, the memo says the Bush administration believed that war was inevitable and was determined to use intelligence about weapons of mass destruction to justify the ouster of Saddam. "The intelligence and facts were being fixed around the policy," one of the participants was quoted as saying at the meeting, which took place just after British officials returned from Washington. http://www.cnn.com/2005/POLITICS/06/16/downingst.memo.ap/index.html Jun 17 05, 5:04 PM
