Thursday action alert: Downing Street Memo hearings

June 15, 2005

Despite having been denied a room on Capitol Hill by the reigning Republicans, Rep. John Conyers is moving ahead with holding hearings on the Downing Street Memo on Thursday at the DNC headquarters. Starting tomorrow, Truthout is broadcasting online support and will be covering the hearings on Thursday: "Tomorrow we begin webcasting a short video clip we call 'The Smoking Gun,' from the documentary film 'Hijacking Catastrophe.' The clip shows the bottom-line importance of the Downing Street Memo and how it confirms the insights of Daniel Ellsberg and the firsthand testimony of Pentagon whistleblower Lt. Col. Karen Kwiatkowski." (AMERICAblog, Truthout via Shakespeare's Sister)
