I just want to put this Times [London] story on the radar:
A leaked government document at the heart of an Official Secrets Act trial contained a "stinking fish" that had the potential to cause political embarrassment to President Bush, a defence barrister told the Old Bailey yesterday.
...
The document was a recorded minute, in the form of a letter, of a two-hour meeting about Iraq between Tony Blair and Mr Bush, at the White House, on April 16, 2004.
A little more, but not much...
I don't have any specific idea what the memo may be referring to, but it seems important enough to be kept under heavy guard:
Mr Tedd was not allowed to disclose the contents of the document in open court.
The jury has seen it, but all questions relating to the document have been restricted to in camera sessions, from which the press and the public are barred.
On April 15 of 2004, the day prior to Bush and Blair's meeting, a bin Laden audiotape had been broadcast, in which he offered to stop terrorist operations in European states which pulled out of Muslim nations.
On that day, the Italian hostage Fabrizio Quattrocchi was murdered by his Iraqi captors.
Earlier that week, a new Iraqi battalion had refused to support Coalition forces in Falluja.
But truly, I just want to put the Times story into circulation here.
