The Guardian published the information about the UK troops the day before the bombing -- clearly knowing about part of the leak. Analyses of the reason for the leak (and source/s of it) should bear that in mind Judy Andreas Ramos <andreas@xxxxxxxxxxx> wrote: There's lots of speculation over why this memo was leaked. It's possible that Blair had it leaked to relieve political pressure after the London bombing. Or it could be the conservatives again, trying to humiliate Blair's resolve. Or Blair is trying to force Bush to start talking about withdrawal. Too bad nobody does political cartoons anymore. It'd be time for "the light at the end of the tunnel" cartoons. yrs, andreas www.andreas.com ------------------------------------------------------------------ To change your Lit-Ideas settings (subscribe/unsub, vacation on/off, digest on/off), visit www.andreas.com/faq-lit-ideas.html
