A group of US congressmen has held an informal hearing into a memo that suggests President George Bush decided on the Iraq war months in advance.
More than 100 Democrats took part in the public forum, calling on the White House to explain the leaked UK memo.
Although the hearing in Washington was unofficial, a BBC correspondent says it coincides with waning public support for the war in Iraq.
President Bush denies he had made up his mind at the time to attack Iraq.

WASHINGTON, June 3 - A military inquiry has found that guards or
interrogators at the Guantánamo Bay detention center in Cuba kicked,
stepped on and splashed urine on the Koran, in some cases intentionally
but in others by accident, the Pentagon said on Friday.
The splashing of urine was among the cases described as inadvertent. It
was said to have occurred when a guard urinated near an air vent and
the wind blew his urine through the vent into a detainee's cell. The
detainee was given a fresh uniform and a new Koran, and the guard was
reprimanded and assigned to guard duty that kept him from contact with
detainees for the remainder of his time at Guantánamo, according to the
military inquiry.

Dear Mrs. Bush, Only Islam Truly 'Liberates' Women…
By Ahlam Amro (Umm Habibah), 22/05/2005
Dear Mrs Bush and her fellow oppressed, socially subjugated and blinded female supporters,
After hearing your demeaning and malicious address aimed at us women
in the Middle Eastern societies i.e. Muslims, I felt compelled to
produce this reply. During what was supposedly an Economic Forum today
in Jordan, you made an agenda to highlight the ‘lack of literacy,
education, freedom and rights as well as the severe oppression faced by
the Muslimah’. Well, Laura, it seems that you had your business suit on
too tight and have become blinded by the false reassurance of your
latest makeover and hairstyle. Either that, or you are completely
ignorant of Islamic culture while being accustomed to the unnatural
atrocities and constant humiliation faced by women in the West.
Therefore I will address your speech; I will then advise YOU and YOUR
society on the terrible oppression YOU as women are facing…
