Downing Street Memos Redux

NewsHog: Saddam's Documents, Downing St. Memos and "Ancient History":

"Last time this document hit the blogs, as with every other one of the Downing Street documents, the Right cried out that it was 'ancient history' and was no longer relevant as the invasion of Iraq happened as it happened and we should now move on to deal with the present...

I fully expect that will be the spin this time too.

Well, they've shot their own argument down with all the sound and fury they've been making over the recently released documents from Saddam-era Iraq. Those documents are even older 'ancient history' yet that hasn't slowed them down one jot. Their argument is as bankrupt as it is illogical. Notice that progressives haven't used the same argument against their glee over their shoddy conspiracy theories and poor translations."
