csmonitor.com | Is 'Downing Street Memo' a smoking gun?

"Joe Conason of Salon.com writes that Kinsley's response to the memo is just more proof that 'the leading lights of the Washington press corps are more embarrassed than the White House is by the revelations in the Downing Street memo.'

Mooing in plaintive chorus, the Beltway herd insists that the July 23, 2002, memo wasn't news -- which would be true if the absence of news were defined only by their refusal to report it."

This "news" is finally getting to the papers. Maybe there is still hope for James Guckert and Gannongate.
