Letter to Karl Rove

Here's a letter I sent to Karl Rove's book tour after I saw his response to be confronted at the first stop of his book tour promoting Courage and Consequence. In his response he seriously dobuted the veracity of the Downing Street Memos.


I saw a video of a recent stop on Mr. Rove’s book tour in California. In response to someone who referred to the Downing Street Memo, Mr. Rove referred to the memos as a fabrication and suggested it was crazy to believe that they were a legitimate piece of evidence about the decision making process in the lead up to the Iraq war. I would like to refer Mr. Rove to a few sources including the Washington Post, NBC, The Sunday Times, and the LA Times all of whom attest to the veracity of the Downing Street Memo. Furthermore, Tony Blair someone who had direct involvement in the memos did not doubt their authenticity when testifying before parliament. I would encourage Mr. Rove to look more closely in to this issue before labeling the memos a fabrication in the future. Furthermore I would encourage Mr. Rove to talk to his former boss President Bush about what the memos suggest, namely that the United States was led into War and numerous innocent people were killed in Iraq under false pretenses.

Thank you,
