Inconsistent Memos

The NYT's is reporting that another memo, this time authored by a British Intelligence officer, suggests that the decision to go to war had not already been made. This, of course, is inconsistent with the Downing Street memo. This is so far the only thing that I am aware of that has undercut the legitimacy of the DSM. But note that it does not cast the authenticity of the memo into doubt. What we are left with are two memos that say the opposite things. The question then becomes which one should trump.

Update: Media Matters does a fine job of making sense (or better yet, nonsense) out of all this here. Note the fact, as pointed out by MMFA, that the DSM post-dates the document discussed in the NYT's article linked above.
