David Corn's alarmingly titled post on the DSM gets right. Here is one in particular:

All the focus on the "fixed" issue might be a distraction. This memo is evidence--more evidence, I should say--that Bush was committed to war from the start and said whatever needed saying (truth be damned) to sway the citizenry.

Yes. This is the point. This war, whatever you may or may not think of it, was decided upon before the public had any say. Then a PR campaign was launched to convince us. If you think that is any way for a democratic republic to behave, you'll love what Mr. Orwell has in store for you.

Update: Not like Atrios needs a link from us, but effin' right on, man!
