First, it was a memo from notes that would be considered hearsay in any

Right, except we aren't in court (although perhaps we should be) and
the Blair government has not denied the authenticity of the memo and
an unnamed "Senior American Official" has characterized it as
"absolutely accurate".

Truthout.com is just reporting what the memo said, not making it up.
It was originally printed in "The Times of London" to which it was
leaked. In effect, when protesting Truthout.com, you are shooting the
messenger. In addition, that website was merely the first I picked,
there were dozens more I could have posted.

The text of the memo (it isn't very long) is also available, simply
google "downing street memo". The first site when you do this search
is the "Times online", and the memo is printed in it's entirety
without editorial comment.
