Conyers Petition on Downing Memo

Friday, May 27th, 2005

Congressman John Conyers (D-MI) seeks to amass 100,000 signatures from U.S. citizens calling on President Bush for more answers about a 2002 meeting during which a senior British official said intelligence was “being fixed” to present a case for the Iraq war – Raw Story

The memo, official minutes of a 2002 meeting between British Prime Minister Tony Blair, members of British intelligence MI-6 and various members of the Bush administration, noted that MI-6 director Richard Dearlove said, “Bush wanted to remove Saddam, through military action, justified by the conjunction of terrorism and WMD. But the intelligence and facts were being fixed around the policy.”

Not sure where it is going with this monster SUV. It’s well rendered, but is it foul product placement?
Update May 29 – “by gas Support Bush” Spelling’s a bit wonky but you get the idea. The tats cru hummer ad, titled “Street Art” is getting ragged.

Faces

These faces, like pages torn from an artist’s notebook, have been pasted up around town since last August. Earlier in the GammaBlaBlog 1, 2, 3.
This pair is pasted on the candle building, 11 Spring, on the Elizabeth Street side. I’m sure that the markered eyes and mouth lines that make these look so spooky were added by someone else.
