In Washington, 88 members of Congress have signed a letter calling on the Bush administration to respond to reports that the U.S. and Britain had a secret agreement to attack Iraq. Last week the Sunday Times of London revealed the text of the minutes to a secret briefing from July 2002 by the head of Britain’s MI-6. In the briefing Richard Dearlove told Prime Minister Tony Blair that the U.S. had already made plans to attack Iraq. According to the leaked minutes, Dearlove said the US attack would be QUOTE “justified by the conjunction of terrorism and WMD.” He went on to say QUOTE “the intelligence and facts were being fixed around the policy.”
