Blocking UK Iraq War Inquiry

The US and Britain are trying to block the inquiry into the UK’s involvement in the invasion of Iraq.

[...]

It was set up in 2009. It was supposed to report in 2011. It is now being pushed back to at least the middle of next year and might be pushed back even further than that.

[...]

It makes you wonder exactly what is in these conversations between Bush and Blair. There must be quite a lot to hide for them to be so worried about them being released.

[...]

How early did they agree to the war? What were the conditions of it? Because if this was agreed when many people believe, in the spring of 2002, it means that all the effort to produce a dossier, all the pressure for the second resolution at the UN, were a charade because Tony Blair already knew that he was going to go to war.

[...]

What people are worried about is that there is maybe lots of evidence here for war crimes, for an agreement for a war over regime change, which of course is illegal under international law.

  RT
I’d say all the other evidence points to exactly that.

...but hey, do what you want...you will anyway.
