An Inquiry into Iraq. Sort Of.

No doubt this will have the opponents of the Iraq War shaking their heads in a mix of disgust and despair:
An independent inquiry into the Iraq war will be held in private, Prime Minister Gordon Brown has told MPs.
Some would say that an independent inquiry held in a democracy might benefit from being held in public, and open to the scrutiny of all. Such people are, of course, hopelessly old-fashioned. They probably believe that think that a Prime Minister should be elected and everything!

Still, since this independent inquiry is being held in the dark - sorry, sorry, in private - I reckon I can guess what that outcome will be. Gordon Brown was right. And if he wasn't right, then it wasn't his fault anyway. 

Democratic government in Britain today - an inquiry to be held in private ordered by an unelected Prime Minister into a war years after that war started ages ago that said Prime Minister voted for. I wonder how much the white paint for this whitewash will cost the taxpayer...

    So much for Gordon's promise to the PLP to be more transparent.

Erm, there's no real comment policy other than "don't libel anyone" and "don't use the comment section to try to sell your products". If you do either, I will delete the comments without warning. Otherwise, you can pretty much write what you want.
