Tenacious Dems Stay Hot on Trail of Downing Street Minutes
Fifty-two Democratic Congress persons, including John Conyers and our own Sheila Jackson Lee, have filed a new and very broad Freedom of Information Act request. The request, which is addressed to the White House, the Defense Department, and the State Department, asks for documents related to the Downing Street Minutes and the run-up to the Iraq War. Maybe Bush's Tuesday night festival of falsehood added fuel to their fiery search for the truth, because these courageous Dems did not stop there!
In addition to the FOIA request, the fearless fifty-two called for various Congressional committee hearings on the DSM. Of course, their Republican counterparts will ignore them, but they are making it much harder for the So-Called-Liberal-Media to ignore them too. Take a look at the FOIA request, and if you have time, write an LTE to support their efforts:

Over 50% of all respondents said they would support impeachment if Bush lied about the war and 25% of ReTHUGlicans said yes to impeachment! www.dembloggers.com has a video link...
