Jack Straw And Chilcot

Yet more evidence that our current political class is full of greedy, lying, incompetent, stinking, corrupt, immoral, amoral, greedy, devious, conniving, scheming, self-seeking, slimy bastards:

Jack Straw's chief legal adviser at the time of the Iraq invasion directly challenged his former boss's version of events today when he told the Chilcot Inquiry that the then Foreign Secretary had overruled his advice against military action.

Here is The Times coverage.

Iraq Enquiry

The Iraq Enquiry will not be a public enquiry, supposedly for reasons of national security, and will take at least a year. Which means the outcome will not be known until after the next general election.

But, should it be over before then, the government has protected itself by stating that the enquiry will identify "lessons learned" and not "apportion blame". So why bother?

Another Labour government con-trick.
