This seems to be the phrase of the moment. The Independent today gives over its front page to a story detailing the alleged deception; that Tony Blair did deliberately mislead the public over the likelihood that Iraq had weapons of mass destruction.
Yesterday Robin Cook and Clare Short spoke out about how the country was exposed to “half truths, exaggerations, [and] reassurences” that weren’t the case.
But of course they wouldn’t have been privy to the most secret stuff would they? So says Blunkett.
As I type Blair is facing both easy and hostile questionning. Of course IDS seems more interested in the results of the Daily Mail’s “referendum” than actual facts.
