		And during the next several weeks, it's possible to have major impacts on news media by launching a massive educational and "agitational" campaign—spotlighting the newly leaked Downing Street Memo and explaining why its significance must be pursued as a grave constitutional issue.
		The leak of the memo weeks ago, providing minutes from a high-level meeting that Prime Minister Tony Blair held with aides in July 2002, may be the strongest evidence yet that Bush is guilty of an impeachable offense.
		If this time is going to be different, we need to get to work—organizing around the country—making the case for a thorough public inquiry and creating a groundswell that emerges as a powerful force from the grassroots.

		Britain had gone to war on what Blair himself had now admitted was a "false premise," he said, and conducted itself in a way which had brought "enormous death and destruction" to the Iraqi people.

		I would expect the Stop the War 'Coalition' to be amenable to by-passing democratic government; it is after all a front organisation for a party that explicitly favoured victory in the Iraq war for Saddam Hussein's tyranny.
