Here we go. Downing St. Memo "retyped", original destroyed

That's right. Did I call it? The Downing St. Memo authenticity is being questioned.

Actually, I kind of agree that this might be a legitimate memo. However, it's fishy that the memo, according to Michael Smith (memo source), that the memo was "retyped" and then the original memo was destroyed. If it were evidence, wouldn't you put it somewhere safe, such as an undisclosed location?

Democrats learned after Memogate I (the Dan Rather incident) that the memo at least needed to appear somewhat legit.

Then in Memogate II (Harkin-Schiavo Memogate, as discussed on the original Smart Retorts website), they made it look more legitimate. They used an actual draft and blew it up into a "Senate Republican talking points memo" (none of which anyone recognized later).

Now in Memogate III (Downing St.), they had to go to a foreign country to get the memos.

Are we sensing a pattern of deception yet?
