This is a representative action of the Michael Arcuri I have gotten to know in the past few months. I have repeatedly, at least six or eight times in the last three months, called his office in Washington, asking for a letter from him stating the important statements in “The Downing Street Memo”, and explaining in this proposed letter. the relevance of these declarations, to we citizens of the United States.
His office continues to tell me that the congressman is so, so busy, and has not yet had the time to respond to my request. It is obvious to me, and now I am telling these aids, that they are lying, lying to me, and that Arcuri’s policy is to just ignore anyone who brings up embarrassing truths which are a part of the history of this country, including these minutes of a June 2003 meeting of British officials with the Bush crew.
