The recent schoolboy arguments and tantrums over non existant Iraqi WMDs, seem not to bear any relationship to the fact that thousands of people have died, so that the US can gain control of Iraqi oil!
The argument now seems to be concerned with whether or not the BBC, should have reported the fact that various parts of the famed dossiers, were patently untrue. In objective terms possibly if the BBC and the media in general, had been more concerned with the facts before the war started, then it would have been a lot more difficult for the band of brigands in the US/UK proposing war, to have got thier own way?
In my view there must be an independant judicial inquiry into the spurious nonsense generated to fan the flames of war, and if it is found to be lacking those involved are clearly war criminals, and should be made to face the consequences!
