The Mahablog: DSM Study Guide

Glenn Frankel of the Washington Post Foreign Service prepared a study guide to the Downing Street Memos, supplemented by interviews with U.S. and British officials (all anonymous), plus written accounts such as Bob Woodward's Plan of Attack.

If you put Frankel's guide together with Quiddity's Iraq Decision Timeline, you get a crystal clear picture of a Bush White House gripped by a single-minded determination to get Saddam Hussein. Not having a clear purpose or justification for getting Saddam Hussein was not about to hold them back.
