The most famous address in Downing Street is 10 Downing Street, the official residence of the First Lord of the Treasury—and thus, in modern times, the residence of the Prime Minister, since the two roles have been filled by the same person.

Fittingly located on a dead-end street, 10 Downing was built in the late 17th century by Sir George Downing on what turned out to be a peat bog, which over time caused many of the buildings on the street to settle and crack.
Number 10 is one of only three remaining houses on Downing, the other two being numbers 11 and 12 (all of which adjoin--having even and odd numbers on opposite sides of the street is an American practice).

In my own screed on the subject yesterday, I should have included links to two other organizations that are working to keep the story alive -- afterdowningstreet.com and the Big Brass Alliance, a coalition of lefty bloggers who are also pushing the issue with admirable intensity.
Even if there was an inclination on their part to revisit previous news "judgments," there's rarely enough time or space in the paper (or in the broadcast feed) to do more than what most news organizations did after the Bush/Blair press conference yesterday, which is to shoehorn a couple of paragraphs into an unrelated story.
I guess what I'm suggesting is that a single-minded focus on the Downing Street Memo might not be the most promising strategy for getting the corporate media -- and American public opinion, such as it is -- to take the Iraq War conspiracy seriously.

 Memo: U.S. Lacked Full Postwar Iraq Plan
The eight-page memo, written in advance of a July 23, 2002, Downing Street meeting on Iraq, provides new insights into how senior British officials saw a Bush administration decision to go to war as inevitable, and realized more clearly than their American counterparts the potential for the post-invasion instability that continues to plague Iraq.
He said containment of Hussein the previous 12 years had cost "slightly over $30 billion," adding, "I can't imagine anyone here wanting to spend another $30 billion to be there for another 12 years." As of May, the Congressional Research Service estimated that Congress has approved $208 billion for the war in Iraq since 2003.
Later in the summer, the postwar doubts would be raised again, at the July 23 meeting memorialized in the Downing Street Memo.

 DJ Paul Edge Blog: Bush and the Downing Street Document
A few weeks ago, I warned in a largely missed blog, that the Bush administration would dismiss the Downing Street Documents by adopting a "its only a memo" type of campaign.
When the Rovian spell is broken, and to do that, we have to use words and images (one of the most powerful images re the war in Iraq is to be found here: WRH/Memorial Day) that are powerful enough to negate the successful manipulation of middle America through emotive response control.
There is only one answer, by pretending the subject isn`t worthy of their attention and allowing the online community to constantly refer to the document as a memo, we are doing their job for them, so when they do respond, Mr and Mrs average American will simply dismiss it because it was just a "memo".
