Another UK document surfaces
Juan Cole reports on his blog that The Times of London "has dropped another bombshell document concerning the planning of the Iraq war in Washington and London." This time the document -- apparently leaked to the Times -- is the Cabinet Office briefing paper for the minutes of the meeting, now immortalized as the DSM. Says Cole:
The Times report is here, and the contents of the briefing paper are reproduced here.
Is this is for real it is indeed a "bombshell".
- The leaked Cabinet office briefing paper for the July 23, 2002, meeting of principals in London, the minutes of which have become notorious as the Downing Street Memo, contains key context for that memo. The briefing paper warns the British cabinet in essence that they are facing jail time because Blair promised Bush at Crawford in April, 2002, that he would go to war against Iraq with the Americans.
