The Downing Street Minutes story has managed to get a good deal of coverage in the past couple of days following the House Democrats forum in the basement of the capital building on Thursday, 16 June. Unfortunately, The Washington Post virtually ignored the story except for Dana Milbank's nasty name-calling
It might be a good idea to read Dana Milbank's article again--if you haven't already done so. If ever there was a case of biased and sloppy reporting this would be it.

After that take a Valium or meditate and wait a few minutes.
