the Butler Report is out. If you're in a rush right now, start at around p. 160.

So to summarise:

1. there was no real link between the Iraqi leadership and Al Qaida;

2. Iraq posed no immediate threat to the UK;

3. UN Resolutions on Kuwait were used - with legal aadvice being sought but never revealed - as the basis for going to war without giving the UN weapons inspectors adequate time.

Hmm.

Does this make Blair and Bush war criminals for invading Iraq without a mandate or due cause?
