What we're NOT seeing in the mainstream press
This has GOT to be more earth shattering than Michael Jackson, Paula Abdul and the runaway bride!
Eighty-eight members of Congress have signed a letter authored by Rep. John Conyers (D-MI) calling on President Bush to answer questions about a secret U.S.-UK agreement to attack Iraq, RAW STORY has learned.
In a letter, Conyers and other members say they are disappointed the mainstream media has not touched the revelations.
"Unfortunately, the mainstream media in the United States was too busy with wall-to-wall coverage of a "runaway bride" to cover a bombshell report out of the British newspapers," Conyers writes. "The London Times reports that the British government and the United States government had secretly agreed to attack Iraq in 2002, before authorization was sought for such an attack in Congress, and had discussed creating pretextual justifications for doing so."

The next time your conservative friends lament the liberal press, REMEMEBER THIS DAY. 88 members of the house of representatives request information directly from the president on potentially impeachable offenses, and the liberal press isn't covering it.
Shameful. There's no such thing as the liberal press...it should be called the Corporate Media, because that's how it's behaving.
This was briefly covered in Friday's Express-News back on page 17A. At least it was on the right hand page above the fold.
I hope Rep. Conyers will be able to get some answers from the yoyos in the administration, and that it will get the mainstream coverage it deserves. But I won't hold my breath.
