In case you missed it, NPR just had a 4 minute story on the DSM and today's Conyers hearings. They provided a good background on the DSM and the responses/denials by Bush and Blair from last weeks press conference.
They also played clips from mothers of soldiers killed in Iraq. One of the mothers said that she felt like the press coverage of the DSM was/should be akin to the report in 1972 that the Dem headquarters had experienced a break in. She feels that the press should now really take up the investigation and do some reporting on the fact that the "intelligence and facts were being fixed around the policy".
Also included was a clip from Conyers stating that the President has so far refused to answer his letter. A letter that now has been signed by over 100 members of Congress.
NPR did include a bit from a Pro-War person (I did not catch the name) who said that planning had to be going on well before going to war and that the memo confirms only that the war planning was going on at least 8 months before the invasion. He also said that they went to the UN after the DSM so that shows that the decision was not already made to go to war (Apparently, the guy had not read the DSM because it is clear in the minutes that they determined that they must go to the UN to legitimize the war and that they would try to provoke Saddam so that he would not let inspectors in).
I will try to get a link to the transcript or audio of the story when I can find it and will update the diary then.
[Update] There was also an Interview by Robert Seigel with Los Angeles Times reporter John Daniszewski that goes into the additional memos and gives a timetable that starts with the Axis of Evil and ends with the war. They even go so far as to point our how the US and Britain trying to set up Saddam by "wrong footing" him with inspections.
They also point out that there was doubt about the terrorism and 9/11 connections as early as March 2002. These justifications were ultimately used to convince citizens of the need to remove Saddam.

Maybe after today's hearings we can get some coverage on the corporate media.
