The Downing street memoFrom: Matthew Rycroft
Date: 23 July 2002S 195 /02
cc: Defence Secretary, Foreign Secretary, Attorney-General, Sir RichardWilson, John Scarlett, Francis Richards, CDS, C, Jonathan Powell, SallyMorgan, Alastair Campbell
C reported on his recent talks in Washington. There wasa perceptible shift in attitude. Military action was nowseen as inevitable. Bush wanted to remove Saddam,through military action, justified by the conjunction of
terrorism and WMD. But the intelligence and facts werebeing fixed around the policy. The NSC had no patiencewith the UN route, and no enthusiasm for publishingmaterial on the Iraqi regime's record. There was littlediscussion in Washington of the aftermath after militaryaction.

Only possible through Free/OpensourceSoftware and Open Standards

preference of the party you are tryingto convince

It's not all one thing
It may be useful to seperate open
standards and opensource aspolitical items
Open standards are easy to get onthe agenda
Seperating the two opens doorsthat would otherwise remain shut
In open standards-based space
opensource software can play ona level playingfield
