The Downing Street Memo

Listen Wednesday, May. 18, 2005 at 1:06 p.m. in Conflict, Politics

A secret memo from the office of prime minister Tony Blair - written in July 2002 but leaked to the British press earlier this month - calls into question the Bush administration’s motive for war in Iraq. We look at its current significance, and why the memo has received minimal press coverage here in the U.S.

Audio archives, transcripts and CDs will be available approximately 15 minutes after the program ends.
