Both the Butler Review

and the Hutton Inquiry

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hutton_Inquiry

show how you can editorialise to such an extent that the conclusions drawn will always be those wanted by your political masters. And the folk in the UK are a lot more cynical and probably more wordly-wise than many other peoples.

Hindsight's told us what both these reports/reviews were worth. Just as hindsight has told us a lot about the war, the subsequent debacle, and our present gift of victory to our populations, and peace and prosperity to the Iraqis.
I just don't get why they're not more grateful.

I am coming to the conclusion that prison is the right place for the folk that put us in this situation. And of those, Saddam was but a minor cog, and obvious target. It's the folk closer to home I'm more concerned with.
