Brits Investigate Invasion Of Iraq
Posted on February 2, 2010 - Filed Under Blog
It isn’t getting a lot of coverage here in the states, but the Brits are in the middle of an official inquiry into the invasion of Iraq. The Guardian reports that former International Development Secretary, Clare Short, has accused former PM Tony Blair of lying and misleading parliament in the buildup to the war.
“Short, giving evidence to the Chilcot inquiry into the war, also said that the 2003 conflict had put the world in greater danger of international terrorism.
Declassified letters between Short and Blair released today show she believed that invading Iraq without a second UN resolution would be illegal and there was a significant risk of a humanitarian catastrophe.” -The Guardian
