Conyers keeps pushing on Downing St. Memo: White House press secretary Scott McLellan says there's "no need to respond" to a letter by Rep. John Conyers and 88 other members of Congress about a secret 2002 memo that shows the White House was working to "fix" intelligence to justify an invasion of Iraq. Bush has ignored the letter, but Conyers keeps pushing on: he needs 100,000 or more signatories to a petition urging the president to offer an "explanation and answers to questions about whether the President misled Congress into voting for the Iraq war." Sign the petition.
