friends of pogblog,
I'm posting this to as many blogs with more blognads than me as I can so the info can maybe be saved from being disappeared.
You've got more blognads than me. Please add Jeremy Greenstock Cost of War info to your river of consciousness. Adding to the web of stealth and treachery that Karlsputin Rove, a nasty piece of work, continues to bring to American politics, UK Ambassador to the UN Greenstock further illuminates the yet larger treasonous FixIntelGate, a context we need to emphasize so folks get why the Rove furor matters.
This Jeremy Greenstock info below is hiroshimic to the reigning hypocrisies if someone will bravely do a Pentagon Papers on rescuing it and get the unredacted copy into the blogbrain and to the few remaining uncowed columnists. Please pursue with your greater blognads, er, ah, resources. pogblog

Publication of The Costs of War by Sir Jeremy Greenstock, <?xml:namespace prefix = st1 ns = “urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:smarttags” />UK ambassador to the UN during the build-up to the 2003 war and the Prime Minister's special envoy to Iraq in its aftermath, has been halted. In an extract seen by The Observer, Greenstock describes the American decision to go to war as 'politically illegitimate' and says that UN negotiations 'never rose over the level of awkward diversion for the US administration'. Although he admits that 'honourable decisions' were made to remove the threat of Saddam, the opportunities of the post-conflict period were 'dissipated in poor policy analysis and narrow-minded execution'. . . . Greenstock is also thought to be scathing about Bremer and US Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice. from Sunday July 17 Observer/Bright & Beaumont. (emphases mine). 7-17-05 7:59:44 pm
Please spread this comment to as many blogs as possible with more blognads than me so the “deeply shocking” Greenstock info can maybe be saved from being disappeared by the janus-face-&-perhaps-rump-savers. Thanks.

Sir Jeremy must be so insulted by having to pretend to be polite to the pipsqueak blunderbuss cowardboys who incredibly have the levers of the most power ever accumulated on the weeping face of the Earth or concentrated in the hands of so infernally stupid a bunch. At least the previous despots and their minions had to contend with geography. With how fast and how far a horse could trot in a day. There is nothing to keep these vehements from perpetrating their Scaly Wills, as you say.
Maybe the Scarlet Pimpernel could steal the pages and we could run them like rum?
