Sharpe's Opinion

The Tories may not be allowed to expose Blair’s Lies over Iraq

Raedwald yesterday suggested that David Cameron may know that crimes were committed over Iraq and be unable to announce it.

Information shared on Privy Council Terms carries obligations. It can’t be used for party political scrapping. There is an assumption that the information provided by government to Privy Council members and the Sovereign will be fair and truthful. I believe that it was information shared on Privy Council Terms that swung the Tories behind Blair at the time, and I believe that Blair deceived both the Privy Council and the Sovereign. Cameron can’t say so. The Sovereign can’t say so. I can only suggest it as a possibility.

I’ve mentioned before that for my sins I supported the war in Iraq based on the information available to me. I’ve always wondered why the Conservatives have never gone after Labour for lying to the country over Weapons of Mass Destruction and the 45-minute claim.

Somehow, this piece of the puzzle seems to fit extremely snugly.
