Published in the Sunday London Times, on May 1, 2005, the Downing Street Memo set off a firestorm of controversy. The memo demonstrated that the American and British public had been misled about the reasons for and the timing of the decision to go to war with Iraq. The secret document indicated that the Bush administration had committed itself to war with Iraq at least a full 8 months before the official start of the war, which was March 19, 2003. I want to interrogate this history, a history that involves the politics and pragmatics of truth, the manipulation of evidence and facts about the world by governmental officials.
