In America we have the Downing Street Memo, and the yet unresolved leaking of sensitive data to our media in attempt to intimidate dissent. In Italy last week it became clear that the Niger forgeries were indeed fake and not an accident, and it had been claimed that the US was warned by Italy as to the validity of the documents; of course money was involved. Now, with the help of Labour MPs, a new (or not new but strenghtened) front determined to get to the bottom of this mystery, a mystery that most know the answer to but ignore it for partisan reasons. The mystery is, how did they do it. How did Bush and Blair get this war? In America, it has been rough. Media has failed, heck they are as responsible for this war as the Dems who voted to give Bush exclusive powers in the lead up to Iraq II. However, in Britain, things are different. Blair is nowhere near as dictatorial as the Bush regime and has a more concentrated opposition in the House.
Could Blair be going down? Probably not but for what its worth
TONY BLAIR is set to face an unprecedented parliamentary inquiry into his conduct in the run-up to the Iraq war.
A coalition of Tory and Labour MPs is to table a motion to set up a Commons committee to examine "the conduct of ministers" both before and after the war. They believe they need the support of about 30 Labour rebels to succeed.
The committee, comprising seven privy counsellors, would have the power to see all sensitive documents and call any British witnesses, including intelligence chiefs.
The failure to plan for the aftermath is likely to be at the heart of the committee's inquiries now that Iraq is in the grip of a violent insurgency, says the Tory MP Douglas Hogg...
"Information that has emerged, in particular the memos leaked to The Sunday Times, strengthen overwhelmingly the case for an inquiry into the judgments of ministers, and in particular the prime minister, in the run-up to war and thereafter," he said.
