Inquiry into Iraq

there is just so much that is available in the public arena but which little or no publicity.

For example, the questions raised by David Cameron with respect to our involvement in torture.

There must be an urgent public inquiry into what has been done in our name, with a full judicial inquiry into not only how we got into the Iraq war, but also our conduct in the aftermath, before it was realised by senior officers and politicians that our initial policy was a total and abject failure. This is what has led to the demonstrations against our soldiers during the ill advised provocative military parades.

The problem is more with the Ministry of Defence and the officers who gave the orders rather than the soldiers who followed those orders. However, there are some orders which should not have been followed. I regard them as illegal, and I defend my right to be able to say so, even in a public space. That is not that I would agree with the placards carried by certain individuals in Luton, which were inflammatory and very emotive.
